Tanaka, comedy of errors boost Yankees past Mariners, 10-1
(Jim McIsaac/Getty)This one really got out of hand quick. A cavalcade of errors by the Mariners in the bottom of the first put the Yankees ahead for good and gave them breathing room en route to the series win. That breaks a skid of 10 straight losses in rubber games and they did it without needing the backend of their bullpen.
Fly like an E-6
The game was wild from the start. The Mariners took a 1-0 lead after a half inning after stringing three hits together,(more on that later), but the Yankees quickly fought back with plenty of help from the lackluster M’s defense. Lackluster is putting it lightly. Let’s go to the play-by-play.
