The Yankees took on the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday evening in the first game of a two-game series. You might not believe it, but the Yankees lead Atlanta 8-0 going into the sixth inning, but a three-run homer from Marcell Ozuna brought the Braves within five.
Despite Atlanta making inroads toward a comeback, the Yankees were able to stifle their attempt. Utilizing a bevy of relief arms, including David Hale, Adam Ottavino, Luis Cessa, and Chad Green, manager Aaron Boone was able to maneuver his way out of a tough game.
Luckily, the Yankees’ bats came to play, putting up a nine spot on the board.
