The Atlanta Braves will try to clinch another series win Tuesday night when they continue a three-game series against the New York Yankees. Atlanta scored eight runs over the first three innings Monday and pulled away for an 11-3 win in the series opener. Tuesday’s game will feature a matchup of a pair of struggling pitchers in Atlanta’s Bryce Elder and New York’s Luis Severino.
Elder was a big part of the Braves’ success early on as they dealt with injuries to both Max Fried and Kyle Wright. He stumbled a bit in July allowing 12 earned runs in six innings combined across two starts.
