ATLANTA (AP) — Charlie Morton recorded 10 strikeouts in six innings, Eddie Rosario hit a two-run homer and the Atlanta Braves beat New York 2-0 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep and give the struggling Yankees their first losing record of the season.
New York (60-61) was left with a five-game losing streak after being outscored 18-3 in the sweep, capped by back-to-back shutouts. The Braves (78-42) have thrown four shutouts in their last seven games to boost the majors' best record.
It is the first time the last-place Yankees have had a losing record at least 120 games into a season since Sept.
