A Rough Start for the Yankees
The New York Yankees faced off against the Atlanta Braves, and it was a tough evening down in Georgia.
️ In the opening inning, after a promising single by Trent Grisham, our bats quickly quieted. Cody Bellinger flied out, Aaron Judge struck out swinging, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. couldn't make contact either, striking out as well. Unfortunately, the Braves took advantage of their turn at the plate. The Yankees found themselves trailing 3-0 after Matt Olson and Ronald Acuña Jr. drove in early runs. The first inning ended with the Braves ahead and momentum on their side. 
Some Hope Late in the Game
The 3rd inning was particularly rough when Ozzie Albies launched a homer to add three more runs to their tally. With the score at 6-0, it looked like our Yankees were in for a long night. However, in the 7th inning, Ben Rice and Austin Wells provided some spark, setting the stage for Giancarlo Stanton. Stanton brought in two runs with a double thanks to an error by Nick Allen. Cody Bellinger then followed up with an RBI single, and suddenly, the score was 7-3. Though it was a steep mountain to climb, our Yankees showed a glimpse of hope.A Tough Defeat
Despite that brief rally, the Yankees couldn't sustain the momentum into the final innings. Judge and Jasson Domínguez struggled at the plate, both striking out multiple times. Our bullpen managed to hold the Braves Scoreless from the 5th inning onwards, but the bats just couldn't catch fire again. Aroldis Iglesias shut the door in the 9th for the Braves, sealing a tough 7-3 defeat for us. Let's keep our heads up, Yankees fans! We'll bounce back from this.
Let's get the win in the next game! 
Go Yankees!
