Elder shuts down skidding Yankees

ATLANTA: Bryce Elder pitched seven brilliant innings in a combined one-hitter, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Marcell Ozuna went deep, and the Atlanta Braves cruised past the reeling New York Yankees 5-0 on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).

The Braves wasted no time jumping on Luis Severino (2-8), whose dismal season has been marred by atrocious numbers in the first inning.
