The Atlanta Braves got a solo home run from Ronald Acuna, Jr. to start the ninth inning. Down 4-1 entering the inning, the best shot for Atlanta to tie or win this game would have come with Acuna at bat with runners on base. Following Acuna’s home run, catcher Drake Baldwin struck out, second baseman Ozzie Albies popped up to Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, and designated hitter Marcel Ozuna grounded out to end the game.
The loss gave the series to the Yankees.
The New York Yankees wasted no time getting on the scoreboard at Truist Park on Sunday.
