Season series: Yankees lead 3-1
The Mariners have been up and down as of late, going 5-5 in their last 10 games. On Tuesday night they lost 3-1 to Yankees SP Gerrit Cole and they’ve now alternated wins and losses in their last 6 contests. They boast the 10th-best team ERA (3.87) this season, but rank 20th in runs scored (309).
The Yankees snapped their 4-game losing streak by beating the Mariners Tuesday, after getting swept in 3 games by the Boston Red Sox last weekend. Despite their 3rd-ranked team era (3.73), the Yankees are still 9.5 games back in the AL East, in part due to their slumping bats (17th in runs).
