00:00It is time for baseball.
00:02It's the Yankees against the Braves
00:04in a rubber game of a three-game set
00:05from Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:07Grant Holmes on the mound.
00:09He has been much better here at home
00:10than on the road,
00:11and today his 20th start of the season.
00:12Yeah, his last start not so great in St. Louis,
00:14hoping to kind of get the second half started well.
00:16Been great at home here.
00:17Pour the Yankees on the top of the first inning,
00:19it'll be Dominguez, Judge, and Bellinger.
00:21Now the Braves hoping for a nice, swift,
00:23and quiet top of the first inning.
00:24Liner, but there is Nacho Alvarez.
00:26Had him shaded perfectly.
00:28Here's Judge.
00:28This will be an interesting matchup in this game
00:30because Holmes does not shy away.
00:32He comes right at you,
00:32and he's going to challenge Judge.
00:34High drive, right center field.
00:36There it goes!
00:37See ya!
00:38A home run for Judge.
00:40His 36th of the year.
00:41It's 1-0 Yanks.
00:43409 feet.
00:44He can punish a pitch away from him.
00:45That is really something special.
00:47You talked about an interesting matchup.
00:48He got a cutter that didn't have a lot of movement.
00:50Now he ties A-Rod for six all-time home runs
00:54for the New York Yankees.
00:55Two down for Giancarlo Stanton.
00:57He does that a lot.
00:58He just serves it in the right field for an easy single.
01:01They have the second baseman shaded up the middle.
01:02That whole right side is open.
01:03This is Jazz Chisholm.
01:04245-17 homers and 44 runs.
01:06That is it.
01:06Push punt.
01:07Oh, it's a beauty.
01:08It's a base hit.
01:09He's throttled down.
01:11He took what they were giving him.
01:12That's a great job by Jazz Chisholm.
01:14Bunded up the third baseline.
01:15Stayed on the grass, and he's got a base knock.
01:16Two down for Paul Goldschmidt.
01:18Two and two with two on.
01:20Line drive.
01:21It's a base hit to center field.
01:23Stanton's going to round third.
01:24He's heading home.
01:24The throw from Harris.
01:26Not in time.
01:27Over the head of the catcher Baldwin.
01:28It's an RBI single for Goldschmidt.
01:30Moving to third is Chisholm, and it's 2-0 Yates.
01:32And this is a good sign for Goldschmidt, who's starting to get his timing back.
01:36He's now hitting .348 in July, by the way.
01:38Marcus Stroman, this is his seventh start.
01:40One and one with a 6.66 ERA.
01:42Well, the second time around has been much better for Marcus.
01:44First three starts of the year, early in the year, 11.57 ERA.
01:47The last three, 3.60.
01:49The Braves have scored 65% of their runs via the home run in the month of July.
01:53You're a ground ball pitcher, so keep you grounded.
01:55Check swing.
01:56Soft ground ball to second base.
01:57Both part jogs to first as Chisholm makes the throw to Goldschmidt.
02:00Matt Olsen.
02:01Right there is Volpe.
02:02Had him play beautifully.
02:04Took a base hit away from Olsen.
02:05Here's a kid we've been talking about the last two nights.
02:07Very impressed by Drake Baldwin.
02:08Fitting .283.
02:0911 homers and 33 runs batted in.
02:11Left-hand hitter.
02:12Fly ball right field.
02:13Judge is there.
02:14Judge puts it away, and that'll do it.
02:16Nice start for Stroman.
02:17Gives up a base hit to Acuna.
02:18No harm done.
02:19As Ozzie Albies to lead off for the Braves here in the second 2-0 Yankees.
02:22Nice start in the first inning by Marcus Stroman.
02:24Gave up a base hit to Acuna.
02:26That's it.
02:26And Stroman wins the battle.
02:28Striking out Albies.
02:30Number one today for Marcus Stroman.
02:32That's a big out to get the pesky.
02:34Ozzie Albies.
02:35Two down here is Nacho Alvarez, Jr.
02:37This is just his fifth game.
02:38Right-hand hitter.
02:39And down goes Alvarez.
02:41So two strikeouts in the inning for Stroman.
02:442-0 Yankees into the top of the third inning.
02:45Aaron Judge hit a home run back in the first inning.
02:48He comes to the plate here.
02:49Hard hit.
02:49Nacho taking it, spinning it away, and then throw it across.
02:53He has looked really sharp in this series over there at third base as Nacho Alvarez.
02:57The longer this at-bat went on, he didn't have a great feeling because Judge was just timing him up.
03:021-0-5 off the bat, but Nacho, man, what a play.
03:04That had some hair behind it.
03:05And even though he's likely to go back down, it has still been a nice showcase for Nacho Alvarez.
03:11The two down for Jazz Chisholm.
03:13Jazz Chisholm liner, but Matt Olsen robs him of a hit.
03:17A lot of hard-hit baseballs here in the third, but nothing to show for it for the Yankees.
03:20This was a great play.
03:21Went lunging to his right, and he robbed Chisholm.
03:24Quick reflexes by Matt Olsen.
03:27Chisholm can't believe it.
03:28Back to the top of the order, and Jerickson profile.
03:30Rounded to second in the first.
03:32First and second, nobody out.
03:33It's 2-0 Yanks.
03:35Bottom of the third.
03:36Popped in the air.
03:37Oh, a diving play by Vivas.
03:39Beautiful play by the Yankee third baseman.
03:41That was a bad bunt, and Vivas made the play just a little bit south of the third base coaching box with a nice dive.
03:48Profile jumping up and down, sort of mad at himself.
03:50Still first and second, one out.
03:52And here comes Matt Olsen, who's 0 for 1.
03:54Right back to Strowman.
03:55There's one, and there's two.
03:58Good play by Volpe on a tough throw from Strowman.
04:00But a 1-6-3 double play gets Strowman out of trouble.
04:03Well, Grant Holmes weathered the first-sitting storm.
04:06Third time through the order.
04:07Jason Dominguez will lead it off.
04:09Grant Holmes gets the strikeout of Dominguez.
04:11And that is the first strikeout today for the Braves' right-hander.
04:14And now round three with Aaron Judge.
04:16Hey, Holmes strikes him out, and he got it with a cheese up top.
04:1913th fastball of the day.
04:21Back-to-back strikeouts for Grant Holmes.
04:23Bases are loaded, everybody.
04:24With one out for Anthony Volpe, one of the offensive heroes last night.
04:28Back-to-back walks, and that will bring a visit from Rick Kranitz, the Braves' pitching coach.
04:32Slow grounder.
04:33Nacho comes home, and they get it.
04:35And Grant Holmes had to go to the ground to get out of the way, but it worked.
04:38Get out of the way.
04:39So now you've got the ninth batter in the order here in Bebos.
04:42See if Holmes can get out of this jam.
04:44And he gets plunked.
04:46How about that?
04:47That'll force in a run.
04:48An RBI for Bebos.
04:49It's 3-0 Yanks.
04:51And you know Grant Holmes has to be seething after that pitch.
04:53Matt Olsen 0-for-2, including a double play hit into his last time up.
04:582-for-9 in the series.
04:59Matt Olsen.
05:01High, deep, and log on.
05:03Hello, Chop House.
05:04Well, actually, hello, roof of the Chop House.
05:07442 feet for Matt O.
05:10Wow, what a...
05:11That ball went a long way.
05:13That looked like home run derby, Matt Olsen.
05:15Yeah.
05:15It's Acuna Jr.
05:16He's 1-for-2 with a single to left in the first inning.
05:19And he gets Acuna to strike out, second out of the inning.
05:23That's the fourth strikeout for Stroman, all swinging.
05:26There's two down here in the sixth.
05:28Fly ball.
05:30Bellinger will make the play on the track for the final out.
05:34Nice work by Marcus Stroman, tip of the cap to him.
05:36Yankees 3, Atlanta 1.
05:37Judge on for the second time in the game.
05:38That brings Cody Bellinger up to the plate.
05:40Bellinger has been quiet today.
05:41Two fly outs to left and a ground out to short.
05:44He induces a little flare out to right center.
05:47Acuna!
05:48Diving catch!
05:49Excellent play on it right by Ronald Acuna Jr.
05:53Made it a little closer.
05:54Nice fly.
05:54Kind of help your new pitcher out.
05:56Lost his oven mitt out of the back pocket, but no problem.
05:58Well, you couple that with the assist that he had in right field on Friday night.
06:01Some good defense from Acuna this year.
06:03Jazz Chisholm looking for a base hit.
06:06Left center field on the run is Harris.
06:07He's not going to get there.
06:08And it gets past him and goes to the wall.
06:10Here comes Judge Rounding third.
06:12He's coming home.
06:12The throw not in time.
06:14Hits an RBI double for Jazz Chisholm Jr.
06:17And the Yankees lead four to one.
06:19It's nice to see the Yankees respond after the Braves pulled back within two.
06:24Devin Williams gave up a run in the bottom of the ninth yesterday.
06:27Wasn't out of safe situation.
06:28Got the three outs that he needed.
06:29Nailed it down.
06:30Yankees won 12-9.
06:31Now he's trying to get a save here and get the Yankees a series victory.
06:34Ronald Acuna will start things for the Braves down three.
06:37Ronald Acuna center field.
06:39Kiss it goodbye.
06:42Four to two.
06:43Absolutely waylaid by Ronald Acuna.
06:45His 13th homer of the season as that ball was crushed at the deepest part of the yard.
06:50So now a 4-2 game as Rano just hit one 456 feet.
06:55Game off is batted 114 miles an hour.
06:57And the Yankees run out of the way.
06:59And that'll leave it up to Marcel Ozuna.
07:01He's 0-3 today.
07:02Grounded softly.
07:04Peraza.
07:05And that'll do it.
07:06And the Yankees win 4-2.
07:08A disheartening loss on Friday.
07:10A comeback victory yesterday.
07:12And an outstanding first inning to ninth inning performance today for a win.
