How the game was won: The Yankees scored seven runs in the first three innings against Julio Teheran, then blew open an 8-5 lead with nine runs in the seventh inning of a 20-6 blowout that gave them a series sweep at Turner Field. Teheran lasted just 4 1/3 innings and allowed nine hits (three homers) and eight runs, twice as many runs as he allowed in any previous home start this season. He's allowed five homers in 11 2/3 innings during his past two home starts, after giving up three homers in 77 1/3 innings in his first 12 home starts.

Number: 2-17. Braves' record against the Yankees in games played in Atlanta, including 0-5 in two World Series.

What's next: The third-place Braves face the fourth-place Marlins in a three-game home series beginning at 7:10 p.m. Monday. Braves rookie Mike Foltynewicz (4-6, 5.71 ERA) faces left-hander Chris Narveson (1-1, 7.04) in the opener.
