Braves look to extend win streak in Yankees series opener

The Atlanta Braves face the New York Yankees tonight at Yankee Stadium, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EDT. The Braves enter the game riding an eight-game winning streak and fresh off a 7-0 homestand against the Nationals and Marlins. Tyler Mahle will make his debut for Atlanta, trying to build on his recent performance after returning from injury. New York, which has struggled offensively, will send Max Fried to the mound for his first start against his former team. Both teams are dealing with recent challenges, as the Yankees' offense has been inconsistent, scoring more than two runs only once in their last seven games.
