Right-hander Charlie Morton rediscovered his control and threw six shutout innings to help the Atlanta Braves beat the visiting New York Yankees 2-0 on Wednesday and sweep the three-game interleague series.
The Braves have won six of their last seven and swept their 11th series of the season. The Yankees have lost five in a row, the last two by shutout, completed the road trip with a 2-7 record and dropped below .500 for the first time this season.
Morton (12-10), who walked seven batters in his last start, allowed only one walk and matched his season high with 10 strikeouts.
