The Braves and Yankees squared off on Monday, which represented one of the rarest matchups in baseball history. Each team entered play with a nine-game win streak, which was the first such matchup since 1901. Unfortunately for Atlanta, all the batted ball fortune favored the Yankees in this particular game as they earned a 5-1 victory to extend their winning streak to ten games.
Huascar Ynoa drew the assignment for the Braves, facing a tough New York lineup that features prodigious power throughout. The right-hander found some trouble, but was mostly impressive in just his second outing since returning from a lengthy IL stint.
