ATLANTA – With their bullpen already taxed just two games into the second half, the New York Yankees desperately needed Marcus Stroman to provide some length on Sunday.
The right-hander — not exactly an ideal choice for the task — delivered, spinning his best and longest start of the season in the Bombers’ 4-2 win over the Atlanta Braves. The victory secured a series win after the Yanks dropped Friday’s second-half opener at Truist Park and completed a chaotic comeback on Saturday.
Stroman demonstrated strong command throughout the afternoon, refusing to issue a free pass while completing six innings of work.
