As for New York and Seattle’s previous game, New York rallied to win their second straight game over Seattle.
Down to their final two outs, Gio Urshela and DJ LeMahieu delivered big hits that helped author one of the team's most exciting victories of the young season.”according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
The slick-fielding Urshela atoned for an eighth-inning error by depositing a game-tying home run into Monument Park, and LeMahieu lashed the deciding hit, driving home Cameron Maybin with the winning run as the Yankees stunned the Mariners, 5-4, on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
We didn't have a whole lot going there," LeMahieu said. "For [Urshela] to hit that homer, it kind of just gave us new life there. Once he tied it up, I kind of got the feeling, all of us on the bench were like, 'All right, we're going to win this game somehow.' It was a fun ending."“according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
Trailing for most of the evening, the Yanks broke through in the ninth against Anthony Swarzak. Gleyber Torres singled and Urshela homered onto the netting over the monuments, later saying that as he rounded the bases, he had been enraptured by the flickering lights atop the Stadium's iconic frieze. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
"It feels so good, seeing the lights go back and forth," Urshela said, with a broad grin. "I feel so happy for me and for the other guys who are here with me. They are so excited to see this, and [I'm] so happy to be here and be part of the team." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
Maybin followed with a single that chased Swarzak, then stole second base. After Roenis Elias recorded an out, LeMahieu lined the deciding single into right field, sending Maybin sliding safely past catcher Omar Narváez.”according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
The Mariners challenged the call, which was quickly confirmed, crediting the Yanks with their 13th victory in 17 games. When the clubhouse opened to media, the air remained thick with smoke from a portable fog machine, indicative of a particularly satisfying celebration. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
"What a great effort," Boone said. "We didn’t play perfect, obviously. We hung around enough. The next guy up again got it done. That’s a fun one to be a part of." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
The Yanks had been mostly stifled by lefty Marco Gonzales, who scattered three hits over six innings. New York’s only damage against Gonzales came in the third inning, as Urshela doubled and scored on a Brett Gardner groundout. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
"I think their starter did a really good job; kind of took us out of our game and we couldn't get much going," LeMahieu said. "When we did have opportunities, we took advantage of it. It's a good win for us, that's for sure."“according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
Maybin was thrown out on the bases in the fifth, then squelched a rally by hitting into a double play in the seventh. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
"I've been here for a week, but it's what this team continues to show: a lot of fortitude, a lot of belief in each other," Maybin said. "What a big win." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
The comeback followed a start in which Masahiro Tanaka uncharacteristically reacted with frustration to a pair of fly balls that fell in the outfield; one fourth-inning hit dropping between center fielder Brett Gardner and right fielder Clint Frazier, the other sailing through heavy raindrops and clanging off of Frazier’s glove for a two-base error in the seventh. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
But those misplays did not result in runs. Seattle scored on Ryon Healy’s second-inning sac fly and Edwin Encarnacion’s sixth-inning homer, which was slugged off a splitter that caught too much of the plate.”according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
"Obviously, I wasn’t my best," Tanaka said through an interpreter. "I was able to get through six innings and a little bit. It was an OK outing. … I think it is a priority for me to get that split back." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
Following the delay, Domingo Santana and Jay Bruce added run-scoring hits off Tommy Kahnle in the eighth. One of the runs (both unearned) resulted from a rare error by Urshela, who booted a Ryan Vogelbach grounder. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
"Gio is human, so every once in a while, to see him not make a play -- I know it's different, but that's what it's about," Maybin said. "Bouncing back, having a short memory, and we did that." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
Before Tuesday's walk-off, the Yankees had lost 51 consecutive games in which they had trailed after eight innings, the second-longest active streak in the Majors behind the Orioles (54) per Elias Sports Bureau. Tuesday marked the Yanks' second walk-off win of the season, following an April 21 victory over the Royals that was decided by an Austin Romine hit. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
"We made some mistakes tonight, and guys just kind of kept playing and enjoying playing the game, enjoying these moments," Boone said. "Just a really good job of stringing together a little bit of a rally there. We had a couple chances late where we just couldn’t break through and finally we were able to." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/dj-lemahieu-yankees-rally-to-walk-off-mariners
