Freeman Fuels the Braves' Offense
Leading the charge for the Braves was their star first baseman, Freddie Freeman. Freeman had a phenomenal night at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and three RBIs. His two-run homer in the 5th inning proved to be the game-winning hit, giving the Braves the lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Clutch Performances from Ozzie Albies and Marcell Ozuna

Max Fried Dominates the Yankees Lineup

Yankees Struggles Continue
The Yankees, despite their offensive firepower, continued to struggle at the plate. They left numerous runners on base and failed to capitalize on several scoring opportunities.
