ATLANTA — While the Atlanta Braves focus on 100 wins, the New York Yankees' new goal is shaking their losing record.
Charlie Morton recorded 10 strikeouts in six innings, Eddie Rosario hit a two-run homer and the Braves beat New York 2-0 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep and dropping the struggling Yankees below .500 for the first time this 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 for the first time this season. The Braves (78-42) have thrown four shutouts in their last seven games to boost the majors' best record.
