Acuña, Ozuna go deep, Elder leads 1-hitter, Braves beat Yankees

ATLANTA — Bryce Elder and Marcell Ozuna never lost faith in themselves.

It's sure paying off.

Bouncing back from a rough stretch, Elder pitched seven innings to lead a one-hitter, getting all the run support he needed when Ozuna hit a three-run homer in the first to lead the Atlanta Braves past the reeling New York Yankees 5-0.

Ronald Acuña Jr. also went deep for the Braves, who have outscored the Yankees 16-3 over the first two games of the series.

"I'm not going to sit up here and say I was always confident," said Elder, a first-time All-Star this season but just 1-3 with a 7.
