The Yankees offense put up 20 runs on Sunday, including nine in the seventh inning, to complete a three-game sweep of the Braves with a 20-6 win in Atlanta.

ATLANTA (AP) — A fan died after falling from the upper deck into the lower-level stands at Turner Field on Saturday night during a game between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees.

It seemed that after regaining first place by taking two of three from the Blue Jays last weekend, then sweeping the Twins this week, the Yankees had righted-the-ship and were gaining steam toward September.

It's not just any girl who threw out the first pitch.

The Yankees got off to a good start in Cleveland on Thursday night and were able to fend off a late rally to avoid a three-game sweep, beating the Indians 8-6 to end a five-game losing streak.

For the first time since July 1, the Yankees are not a first place team.

David Price struck out seven over seven brilliant innings and Justin Smoak smoked Ivan Nova for a sixth-inning grand slam as the Toronto Blue Jays won their seventh straight, making another statement with Saturday's 6-0 win in the Bronx.

Nathan Eovaldi shutdown the Twins and Chase Headley drove in three as the Yankees took the rubber match in Minnesota 8-2 on Sunday.

The Yankees are expected to activate to outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and closer Andrew Miller ahead of tonight's game with the Oakland A's.
