ATLANTA — \u2014 Ozzie Albies<\/a> hit a three-run homer, Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. made a spectacular throw and the Atlanta Braves<\/a> beat the New York Yankees<\/a> 7-3 on Friday night as both teams resumed action after the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

Spencer Strider<\/a> (4-7) threw six shutout innings, striking out eight and allowing three hits and three walks. <\/p>\n

Albies was 1 for 3 with four RBI and launched a 390-foot homer just in front of the Chop House in right to make it 6-0 in the third inning. <\/p>\n

Acu\u00f1a was 2 for 3 with a double, triple and runs scored, but his best play came when he threw out <\/a>Jorbit Vivas<\/a> for a double play in the third inning.<\/p>\n

Vivas was trying to tag up from second base on a fly to deep in the corner in right, but Acu\u00f1a’s throw reached third on the fly to get a surprised Vivas, who slowed up as he approached the bag.<\/p>\n

Ian Hamilton<\/a> (1-1) took the loss after leading off a bullpen game for the Yankees by surrendering three runs in the first inning. Rico Garcia<\/a>, making his debut with the Yankees, gave up Albies’ three-run homer in the third.<\/p>\n

New York star Aaron Judge<\/a> was 1 for 4 with three strikeouts three days after playing in his seventh All-Star Game in the same park.<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> had a pinch-hit two-run double for the Yankees in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

Also Friday, Yankees right-hander Luis Gil<\/a> made his second rehab start for Double-A Somerset, going 3 1\/3 innings and allowing two hits and two runs. He\u2019s recovering from a strained right lat from spring training.<\/p>\n

Key moment <\/p>\n

The Yankees cut it to 7-3 in the seventh and had Judge up with men on first and third with two outs, but Dylan Lee<\/a> struck out the slugger on a full count.<\/p>\n

Key stat <\/p>\n

The six shutout innings for Strider marked the second time he accomplished that line this season, matching an outing on June 14 against Colorado.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Yankees RHP Will Warren<\/a> (6-5, 4.63) was set to face recently acquired LHP Joey Wentz<\/a> (2-1, 6.32) on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
