SEATTLE — Ben Gamel showed the Yankees his value as an everyday player.
Gamel, who began his career with New York, homered early, doubled and scored on Nelson Cruz's 10th-inning single that lifted the Seattle Mariners to a 6-5 win Saturday night.
"I can't think this organization enough for giving me an opportunity," said Gamel, acquired from the Yankees last August. "It's been kind of an up-and-down career so far. . Love it over here."
Masahiro Tanaka had another shaky outing and New York trailed 4-2 before Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 32nd home run, a sixth inning drive against Steve Cishek.
