The final score reflects a game dominated by strategic plays and outstanding performances, particularly from the home team.
The Yankees showcased their offensive strength early in the game, scoring two runs in the first inning and maintaining steady momentum throughout.

On the pitching side, Marcus Stroman earned his seventh win of the season for the Yankees thanks to a commanding performance on the mound.

The bullpen also played its part flawlessly in closing out any opportunity for a Braves comeback.
The Atlanta Braves struggled to find their rhythm against New York's pitchers but managed to put three runs on the board thanks to timely hitting that saw them capitalize on one of few errors made by Yankee fielders throughout night. Despite these efforts and accumulating four hits over nine innings, it wasn't enough to challenge New York's lead effectively.
