New York Yankees vs Seattle Mariners
Post Game Recap
Final Score: Yankees 1 Mariners 4
In what looked like a sure thing for
the New York Yankees on paper they were unable to beat Jeremy
Bonderman and the Seattle Mariners, and they had their winning streak
snapped at four. The loss moves the Yankees to two games behind the
Boston Red Sox in the AL East.
Bonderman got the start again for
Seattle after getting rocked in his first appearance of the season,
but on Friday night Bonderman looked the best he has in years earning
his first victory since 2010. The Yankees got on the board in the
first inning against Bonderman with a Travis Hafner RBI ground out,
but that would be all they could get off Bonderman. Bonderman would
end up going six innings allowing just one run on three hits, and two
walks. Letting Bonderman shut them down has to be disappointing for
the Yankees lineup, who should have been able to get more than one
run off of him.
Yankees Starter Hiroki Kuroda did not
have a very good start on Friday, and got his fifth loss of the
season because of it. The loss to the Mariners means that Kuroda has
not one a game since May 17th, and has lost three of his
last four starts. The fourth inning was where the Mariners got to
Kuroda, with a two-out rally, as with the bases loaded Brendan Ryan
got the Mariners on the board with base hit scoring Michael Morse and
Nick Franklin. After the bases were reloaded with a infield single by
Endy Chavez, Jason Bay knocked in two more with a single. The
four-run two-out rally was the difference maker in this game, and
turned out to seal the Yankees fate.
The Mariners bullpen was very solid
after the nice start from Bonderman, as they finished up the final
three innings of the game, while only allowing one hit and one walk.
Tom Wilhelmsen picked up his 15th save of the season to
finish up a good game of pitching from Seattle.
Next up for the Yankees will be an
afternoon game on Saturday against the Mariners, as Andy Pettitte
(4-3, 4.17) will be facing Joe Saunders (4-5, 5.20).
