New york Yankees vs Atlanta Braves Match Player Stats (March 13th, 2026)
Yankees’ Late Surge Falls Short as Braves Survive a Wild Ninth at CoolToday Park
The New York Yankees vs Atlanta Braves match player stats from March 13, 2026, delivered more drama than anyone expected from a spring training afternoon. Atlanta Braves built a comfortable lead through six innings, only for New York to erupt for five runs in the ninth — three of them coming on home runs off the same pitcher. The Braves held on 7–6, but it was far from comfortable by the end.
What made this game worth watching was how two very different styles played out. The Braves spread their 14 hits across the lineup and converted runs early and consistently. The Yankees, meanwhile, were quiet for most of the night before producing one of the loudest innings of this spring. For fans who track every MLB spring training box score and player performance log, this one had real storylines on both sides.
Dustin Fuentes set the tone for Atlanta right from the jump — three perfect innings, five strikeouts, not a single hit allowed. That kind of start gave the Braves’ bullpen a cushion they needed, even if Ivan Mejia nearly gave it all back in the final frame.

How Each Team Performed Across the Full Game
Atlanta Braves — Overall Performance
Atlanta came out swinging with four runs in the first inning and never really let the Yankees breathe until the very end. The Braves finished with 14 hits and converted 6 of 14 opportunities with runners in scoring position. Kyle Farmer was the offensive standout going 3-for-3 with four RBIs, while Jose Azocar, A. Tavarez, and Ozzie Albies all contributed multi-hit or multi-RBI efforts across the lineup.
New York Yankees — Overall Performance
New York was held to just two hits through the first eight innings before everything changed in the ninth. Five runs scored in that final frame — highlighted by three home runs off Ivan Mejia — made the final scoreline much closer than the game actually felt. G. Martin delivered a 3-RBI shot, while Ryan McMahon and J. Ornelas also went deep. The Yankees’ complete spring training batting and pitching performance tracker shows just how rare this kind of power outburst has been in their early schedule.

Final Thoughts
Atlanta earned this win the right way — consistent hitting, early run production, and a bullpen that mostly held the line. The Yankees’ ninth inning was electric and showed real offensive potential, but three home runs off one pitcher in a single inning doesn’t reflect the full picture of how New York performed. Fuentes was the story of the night, and the Braves’ 14-hit output made sure the final margin was enough to survive.
