October 21, 1996: Yankees shutout by Braves, down 0-2 in World Series

After getting walloped 12-1 last night by Andruw Jones and the Braves, Greg Maddux put on a masterful performance tonight leading Atlanta to a 4-0 victory and a 2-0 advantage in the World Series. Maddux needed just 82 pitches – 62 of which were strikes – to toss eight scoreless innings while allowing six hits and no walks.

While the offense had their hands full with Maddux, Jimmy Key was having trouble with Fred McGriff, who knocked in three RBI’s and tied a postseason record with 15 RBI this October.
