Yankees Clip Braves in Tight Contest
The New York Yankees got a rather unremarkable outing from starting pitcher Jim Abbott, but it was good enough for the club to take a 8-3 decision over the Atlanta Braves. New York's record now stands at 45-68, placing them last in the Federal League East Division.

New York used the timely hitting of Jeff Kunkel to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Yankees on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We came out aggressive," said Yankees manager Patrick McQuail. "We came out swinging the bats."
