The Yankees dropped their third straight game as they were defeated by the Atlanta Braves 11-3 in the series opener of a three-game set on Monday night at Truist Park.
Here are some takeaways...
- The Yankees offense came to play early in this one, scoring in both the first and second innings. New York struck first against left-hander Max Fried on a Harrison Bader RBI ground out and added another in the second on a Isiah Kiner-Falefa RBI single.
- Unfortunately, though, Georgia-native Clarke Schmidt struggled to contain the high-powered Braves lineup in his first start back home.
