Michael Harris II drove in the automatic runner with an RBI single in the top of the 10th inning as the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Yankees 2-1 on Sunday, avoiding a three-game sweep. Matt Olson had earlier homered in the seventh off Cam Schlittler, who struck out 11 over seven innings. Trent Grisham tied the game with a solo homer in the eighth. Raisel Iglesias struck out two in a perfect ninth, and Tyler Kinley earned his first save with a scoreless 10th. The Yankees fell to 2-9 in extra-inning games and were held to one run for the 20th time this season.
