Second baseman DJ LeMahieu delivered the go-ahead home run, one of three struck by the visiting New York Yankees, who beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 on Tuesday to extend their winning streak to 11 games.

LeMahieu's two-run homer in the fifth inning broke a 2-2 tie and sent New York to victory for the 18th time in 21 games. It is the third 11-game winning streak for the Yankees since 1962, the last coming in 1985.

Giancarlo Stanton and Rougned Odor also homered for the Yankees, who took three of four games against National League East-leading Atlanta this season.
