The New York Yankees overcame a strong Atlanta Braves team 9-6 on Tuesday evening in the first game of a two-game series. After taking an 8-0 lead entering the sixth inning, starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery gave up a three-run home run to draw the Braves within five. Luckily, the Yankees bullpen was able to stifle a comeback attempt by Atlanta, with Zack Britton securing the save.
However, after a fifth-inning homer by Aaron Judge, a slight wince rounding second base confused the masses. Manager Aaron Boone immediately pulled Judge from the game but did not indicate any concern over an injury.
