NEW YORK -- When the ball went up, Brian McCann thought it was the second out of the inning. And when it came down, the Yankees had a three-game sweep. Jacoby Ellsbury got four hits and scored the winning run in the ninth on McCanns pop-fly single that dropped near three Cincinnati Reds in shallow right field, giving New York a 3-2 victory Sunday. "Ill take it, for sure," McCann said with a laugh. "I saw that everybody was looking at each other. So there was a chance, and luckily for us it fell." Ellsbury and Derek Jeter each had an RBI single in the fifth inning for the Yankees. Hiroki Kuroda outpitched Cincinnati ace Johnny Cueto and left with a 2-1 lead before Todd Fraziers tying homer off Dellin Betances in the eighth. Ellsbury also stole two bases and made a sliding catch in centre field that saved a run. "He can do anything on the baseball field. He showed all his tools today. He does this on a nightly basis," McCann said. Ellsbury reached safely all five times up, including a leadoff single in the ninth against Aroldis Chapman (0-3). Before that, left-handed hitters had been 1 for 18 with 12 strikeouts against the hard-throwing Cuban this season. Ellsbury got a great jump and swiped second without a throw. He reached third on a wild pitch before Chapman struck out Mark Teixeira with a 101 mph fastball. McCann, another left-handed batter, lifted a popup that barely reached the outfield grass behind first base. But with the infield playing in, Frazier and second baseman Skip Schumaker scurried back trying to get under the ball as Jay Bruce rushed in from right field. "It is anybodys ball," Frazier said. "If you can get to it, it is your ball." All three appeared to have a hard time finding it in the air, however, and the ball landed untouched. Ellsbury alertly saw what was happening and dashed home easily as McCann stood on first base with his arms raised. "You dont see that too often," Ellsbury said. "Its just a read that you have to make pretty quick." Chapman stared out toward shallow right field, where Frazier, Schumaker and Bruce were practically frozen in disbelief. "Just one of those things -- I thought I was under it and I was not," Frazier said. "By the time the ball was coming down it was already too late so, I made a mistake, turned my body the wrong way and, one of those things where I should have caught it." Centre fielder Billy Hamilton had trouble with the sun earlier, allowing Ellsburys seventh-inning fly to fall for a double. David Robertson (1-2) pitched a perfect ninth. It was New Yorks second walk-off win this season and the fifth game-ending hit for McCann -- his first since a home run for Atlanta against Houston on May 17, 2011. The 39-year-old Kuroda gave up three hits and no earned runs over 6 2-3 innings in his 200th major league appearance. "He was great," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Did a wonderful job today." After losing their sixth straight road game, a season high, the Reds are 2-5 without injured sluggers Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips. Cueto threw 112 pitches in five innings, matching his shortest start this season. "I felt really strong today," he said through a translator. "I would have kept going even with the amount of pitches I had." Frazier won a matchup of All-Stars when he lofted Betances full-count pitch into the left-field corner, just beyond the 318-foot sign. It was the first home run at Yankee Stadium for Frazier, who grew up about 85 miles away in Toms River, New Jersey. He pumped his fists at home plate and received hearty high-fives in the dugout. Betances has allowed two homers in 58 1-3 innings this season. "I think we were all a little bit shocked when it happened," Girardi said. Moments earlier, Schumaker made a costly baserunning mistake. He singled to start the inning and, with Frazier at the plate, took off trying to steal second before Betances began his delivery. The big right-hander stepped off the rubber, and Schumaker was tagged out after a long rundown. Schumaker, just off the seven-day concussion disabled list, had an RBI double with two outs in the fifth. It was Cincinnatis only hit in 22 at-bats with runners in scoring position during the series. "They just outplayed us," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "Some of the things that happened in the series (were) unfortunate."

The Argentine manager said he had reached "an agreement to cease being the coach" after Barcelona was held to 1-1 by new champion Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Martino was hired last summer and tasked with continuing Barcelonas winning era started by predecessor Pep Guardiola in 2008, but Barcelona finished the season without a major trophy for the first time since the 2007-08 season. Former Barcelona player Luis Enrique is expected to replace Martino, who left with one year left on his contract. "I am deeply sorry that I couldnt help my players reach the clubs goals that it has been reaching year after year," said Martino, who refused to take questions from the press after the match. "I am sure (my players) will have more successes (in the future). I dont have anything else to say except to thank them. We admired these players from afar, we admired them from up close, and I am sure I will continue admiring them because they will get back to winning again." Martiino alluded for weeks to a possible exit, saying his future had already been decided regardless of how the league ended after Barcelonas exit from the Champions League to Atletico, and loss in the Copa del Rey final to Real Madrid.dddddddddddd On Saturday, he said the decision was taken "independently of the game" that limited him to a Spanish Supercup as his only trophy in one season in charge of the Catalan club. "We thank Tata because he took over during a difficult season," Barcelona sports director Andoni Zubizarreta said. "Even so, we made the final of the Copa del Rey and were within five minutes of winning the league title." Speculation has grown that Enrique will be named to take Martinos place after he stepped down as Celta Vigo coach following a meeting with Barcelona last week. Barcelona needed to win the match at Camp Nou to win the league, but Diego Simeones Atletico emerged undefeated from its sixth meeting with Barcelona this season. Martinos goodbye came after goalkeeper Victor Valdes and captain Carles Puyol said their farewells this week. Other players will likely join them with the club set to overhaul its squad.
