SEATTLE — Manager Aaron Boone called what the Yankees experienced last week a "rough patch." It's starting to feel like more, especially after another series loss that ended in a 4-3 loss to the Mariners on Wednesday afternoon.
The Yankees got off to a good start with Nestor his Cortez, and in the last two games he kept a clean sheet of 19¹/3 innings before finally going into the seventh inning where he had three runs to score. I woke up , leading 3–1, thanks to home runs by Kyle Higashioka and Aaron Judge.
But when Cortez, who allowed back-to-back singles, was pulled into the bottom of the inning, the Yankees had three bad pitches in a row. I made a decision.
Abreu was upset again when the Yankees suffered his sixth loss in seven games, and Carlos hit his two-run homer to Santana.
It was also after an interesting pitcher duel. Cortez and Robbie Ray dominated early on, as did Gerrit Cole and Luis Castillo on Tuesday.
Yankees scored his single with two outs from Aaron in his second inning. Did. Hicks and Miguel Andujar before Isaiah Kinna Falefa pops out.
In his fifth inning he had two outs and he walked DJ LeMahieu and Judge, but Anthony Rizzo had a hip strain and he sat five straight in the first game since. , struck out.
Cortez allowed the first walk to Eugenio Suárez in his second, but otherwise he was perfect through five innings.
With one out in the sixth, things changed. All series for the Yankees side—drilled a solo home run down the left field line for Seattle's first hit and first run of the game.
Ray said he He kept the Yankees quiet through the seventh inning, when he walked two outs in the fifth and he threw twice. However, in the seventh inning he had one out, Kiner when his Falefa was walked, Higashioka hit his 3-2 pitch out to left center and hit a two-run homer, gave the Yankees his 2-1 lead. He set a scoreless record for the season.
This was Higashioka's second home run in his three games and knocked out Ray with his 115 pitches, his highest of the season.
Judge then hit his MLB-leading 45th home run of the year to make it 3-1.
Seattle rallied at the end of the inning. Thailand France took the lead on a single, moved to second on Higashioka's passed ball, and scored on Mitch Haniger's single to cut the lead to 3-2 and end the Cortez outing. The
team's Abreu struggled on a four-game streak, largely due to the minors running out of options for his league.
He hit Santana with his 2-run homer of go-ahead, then Dylan, who reached for a fielder's choice, went wrong when his Moore flew to base and allowed a stolen base. I hit a base.
Diego Castillo pitched, the offense scored after his seventh. Seattle finished in a scoreless eighth place, with Paul Sewald closing out in the ninth.
"We keep playing tight ball games," Boone said before the game. "Unfortunately, we've been at [their] cons this past week."
