Yankees runaway over Braves
by Carrie White sales New York Yankees manager Joe Lou Brock Jersey Girardi says baseball ''has a way of evening out.'' Following a sluggish end to a homestand that cost the Yankees the AL East lead, things evened out for their bats in a big way against the Braves. Jacoby Ellsbury hit a three-run homer, Chase Headley and Stephen Drew http://www.officialcardinalsmlbshop.com/authentic-13-matt-carpenter-jersey.htmleach added a two-run shot and New York routed the Atlanta Braves 20-6 on Sunday to finish a three-game sweep. The Yankees almost matched their season high for runs set in a 21-5 win at Texas on July 28. They totaled 38 in the series after scoring a combined seven while losing three of the last four games of a 5-5 homestand. ''When you struggle http://www.officialcardinalsmlbshop.com/authentic-7-matt-holliday-jersey.htmloffensively, you're due to get some guys hot and that was kind of what happened here,'' Girardi said. All three homers, which helped build an 8-2 lead, came with two outs. Headley and Drew, who had four hits, both drove in four runs. ''Guys in here understand there are going to be swings,'' Headley said. Joe Maddon Jersey''This is a confident group.'' The U.S. flag at Turner Field flew at half-staff and a moment of silence was observed before the game in memory of Gregory K. Murrey. Murrey, a Braves season-ticket holder, died after falling from the upper deck to the lower-level seats on Saturday night. He was 60. The Braves displayed ahttp://www.officialraysshop.com/authentic-20-matt-joyce-jersey.html photo of Murrey on the video board during the moment of silence. After the Braves cut the lead to 8-5, pinch-hitter Alex Rodriguez drove in two with a bases-loaded single in the Yankees' nine-run seventh inning. ''It's been a while since we swung the bats like this, so hopefully we can set the tone for September,'' Rodriguez said. Despite the sweep, the Yankees gained no ground on AL East-leading Toronto, which beat Detroit 9-2. The Blue Jays still lead New York by 1 1/2 games. The Braves have lost five straight and 12 of 13. They've dropped nine consecutive interleague games since a win over Boston on June 17. ''They just kicked our butts,'' said first baseman Freddie Freeman, who had two hits and drove in a run. ''The whole series. ... That's what that lineup is capable of doing.''Sponsor Ads
