Overview

  • Ronald Acuña Jr. threw out Jorbit Vivas at third base on a no-hop throw to complete an inning-ending double play in the third inning.
  • Ozzie Albies smacked a 390-foot, three-run homer in the third to stretch Atlanta’s lead to 6-0.
  • Spencer Strider struck out eight over six scoreless innings, marking his second such outing of the season.
  • The Yankees’ choice of reliever Ian Hamilton as an opener led to three first-inning runs and set the tone for New York’s struggles.
  • Jorbit Vivas’s deceleration and failure to slide cost the Yankees a prime scoring opportunity with Aaron Judge due up next.
