The New York Yankees racked up a win at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, bumping off the Atlanta Braves, 4-3. Eric Plunk, who started for New York, pitched effectively for his team. The winning pitcher was Plunk, now 9-9. He tossed 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 7. New York has now won 3 in a row.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd and two out in the top of the fifth inning. That's when catcher Mike LaValliere, who is a two-time Gold Glove winner, drew a walk. The Yankees went on to win.

"It was a good effort all around," said LaValliere.
