Braves just finished the sweep by shutting the Yanx out for the second straight night and winning by a cumulative 18-3 score for the series [11-3, 5-0, 2-0] This officially drops the Yanx into a sub-.500 record [60-61] this late in the season for the first time since they were, well, also 60-61 after 121 games in 1995 under some manager named Showalter. The kicker about that season is that they then finished out the year by going 19-4 (strike shortened season) and making the playoff as the WC team before losing that epic playoff series to the Mariners -- Griffey scores from 1st on Edgar Martinez's double down the LF line off Jack McDowell (normally a starter, 'Black Jack' had relieved some rookie named Rivera) -- which is largely credited with saving baseball in Seattle. That game wound up being Showalter's last game managing the Yanx. The last time they finished a season under .500 was 1992 [76-85] which was the last of four consecutive sub-.500 teams.
