That was a satisfying win. Behind an excellent start from Ian Anderson, the Braves defeated the Yankees 4-1. Aqualung went 6 2/3 scoreless innings, surrendering only four hits. He looked like the Ian Anderson of 2020; all three of his pitches were working—he had good command of the mid-nineties fastball, which made the change and the curve that much more effective.
The Braves managed four runs on only four hits. For the first four innings, Corey Kluber looked like the Corey Kluber of 2014-2018, surrendering only a single to Albies in the second. But in the fifth, the Braves scored two runs on a single and four walks.
