Yankees Aim for Series Sweep Against Braves
The New York Yankees are on a winning streak, having recently secured several close victories. They are set to face the Atlanta Braves in the final game of a three-game series, aiming for their first home series sweep in over three months.
Since July 9, the Yankees have a record of 16-9, with 13 of those wins coming in games decided by two runs or fewer. They achieved two one-run victories against the Braves in this series. Spencer Jones contributed significantly to the Yankees' 5-4 win on Saturday, driving in two runs and scoring another, while George Lombard Jr. also made an impact with his second career homer.
The Braves, who recently ended an eight-game winning streak, are looking to avoid a third consecutive loss. They have struggled with runners in scoring position during this series and have struck out 21 times. Ronald Acuna Jr. has been a bright spot for Atlanta, hitting five homers in his last nine games. The Yankees will start Cam Schlittler, while Grant Holmes will pitch for the Braves.
