After a three-game losing streak, the New York Yankees are finally back on winning ways as they thrashed the Atlanta Braves 8-3 in Game 2 of their three-game series.
Aaron Boone will surely be happy with his team's performance and hope that they replicate a similar performance on Sunday when they face the Braves for the series finale. Right now, both teams have won one game each, and thus both Yanks and Braves still have equal chances of winning this series.
Braves, on the other hand, would hope to keep Saturday's results in the rare view and turn the table on the Yanks once again as they did on Friday. Brian Snitker surely would like to see his men fight the Yanks head-on and get their winning momentum back before they move to their next series against the St. Louis Cardinals starting on 25th June.
