"I remember landing in the Atlanta airport at the break and Dayton and I were on the phone and he says, 'You got to find ways to win more games,'" Yost said Friday. "'We got to find ways to win.' I thought, 'OK, I'll try to figure something out."

Yost is at a similar stage at the All-Star break here in 2018.
