NEW YORK — Ty France hit a go-ahead RBI single in Seattle’s four-run ninth inning off reliever Clay Holmes, and the Mariners rallied to beat the New York Yankees 5-4 on Monday night.
The Mariners ended New York’s seven-game winning streak with the big tackle against Holmes (1-1), who made his second save in 15 chances.
Luke Raley, who had two of Seattle’s three hits against starter Marcus Stroman, hit an infield single to Gleyber Torres and Julio Rodriguez scored on the second baseman’s error. Mitch Haniger followed with an RBI single and Dominic Canzone lifted a game-tying sacrifice fly. France followed with a 2-0 sinker to right field for a 5-4 lead.
Eduardo Bazardo (1-0) allowed an RBI single to Jon Berti in the bottom of the eighth that increased New York’s lead to 4-1 before the comeback gave Seattle its second win in 23 games when it trailed by eight.
Andrés Muñoz got the final three outs, trapping Juan Soto on the first save for his ninth save.
Alex Verdugo drove in the first three runs for the Yankees, who were 28-0 when leading after eight. Verdugo hit a two-run single off four batters and added an RBI single in the fifth off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert.
Stroman allowed one run in 7 1/3 innings before Holmes homered for the first time in 21 starts this season.
Gilbert allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: INF JP Crawford was activated off the IL after missing 23 games with a strained right oblique and was benched as a pinch hitter in the eighth. … INF Jorge Polanco (hamstring tightness) missed his sixth straight game. … INF/OF Sam Haggerty suffered a torn Achilles tendon in a collision with the center field fence during a game with Triple-A Tacoma over the weekend. Haggerty played in eight games and was optioned to the minors last week. … INF Leo Rivas was signed by Tacoma to make room for Crawford.
Yankees: RHP Gerrit Cole (right elbow nerve inflammation and swelling) will face hitters for the first time Tuesday since being injured in mid-March. On Saturday, Cole threw his first bullpen session, in which he sat in the middle for a break, simulating an inning. “I think I bounced back from the two-man bullpen with some guys attacking him and I know I felt good coming in yesterday,” manager Aaron Boone said. “So yeah, we just want to keep progressing and putting together good days and this is another step on the road to getting out there and facing hitters.” … RHP Ian Hamilton was placed on the 7-day COVID-19 injured list after feeling ill before Sunday’s game and being sent home. … RHP Clayton Andrews was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre and RHP Colby White was designated for assignment.
