Yankees Fall 7–6 to Braves as Weathers’ Electric Stuff Meets Costly First Inning

Didier Fuentes’ three perfect frames strengthened his roster case for injury-hit Atlanta.

Overview

  • Ryan Weathers gave up four first-inning runs before settling in, reaching 100 mph and recording 11 whiffs over 3.2 innings.
  • His sweeper generated seven whiffs on 10 swings, he threw 67 pitches, and his spring ERA climbed to 8.68.
  • Braves prospect Didier Fuentes retired all nine Yankees he faced with five strikeouts across three innings, boosting his bid for a 2026 role given multiple pitching injuries.
  • The Yankees nearly erased a 7–1 deficit in the ninth as Tyler Hardman singled home two and Garrett Martin followed with a three-run homer.
  • Cody Bellinger notched an RBI single, while several other regulars were quiet, and the spring records moved to Yankees 13–7 and Braves 13–5.
