The Yankees' pitching staff was exceptional throughout the game, allowing only three hits and no runs. Starter Luis Gil was particularly impressive, pitching six and one-third innings while giving up just one hit and striking out eight batters. The bullpen maintained this dominance, with Victor González holding the Mariners scoreless in his relief appearance and Clay Holmes securing his fourteenth save of the season.


Offensively, the Yankees were led by timely hitting that produced five runs on eleven hits. The scoring began in the second inning when a series of singles loaded the bases for Aaron Judge, who drew a walk to bring home the first run. In the third inning, Giancarlo Stanton added another run with a solo home run to left field.

The seventh inning proved pivotal as New York extended its lead significantly. Consecutive singles by Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu set up Anthony Rizzo's three-run homer that put the game out of reach for Seattle. This offensive burst highlighted Rizzo's clutch performance under pressure.


Seattle struggled offensively against New York’s pitchers. Despite managing two hits in their final inning at-bat attempts against Holmes, they failed to capitalize on any opportunities presented during earlier innings as well.
