New York Yankees vs Seattle Mariners
Final Score: Yankees 6 Mariners 1
The New York Yankees were able to keep
their momentum from sweeping the Cleveland Indians on their trip to
the West Coast, as they took Game 1 of the four-game series against
the Seattle Mariners with a 6-1 victory. The win moves the Yankees to
(35-25), and keeps them at 1.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox.
The good Phil Hughes showed up in
Seattle, where he seems to enjoy pitching, as he now (4-0) with an
ERA under one in Safeco Field. On Thursday Hughes picked up his third
win of the season after pitching seven great innings. Hughes only
gave up one unearned run due to a Kevin Youkilis error, and then
Boone Logan allowing a RBI double Kyle Seager. Hughes struckout seven
batters, while only allowing three hits, and two walks in what was a
great bounce back start from Hughes, who seems to pitch much better
away from Yankees Stadium.
