Aaron Judge’s game-ending sac fly leads Yankees to stunning comeback win over Mariners
Share this @internewscast.com

The Yankees avoided being on the wrong side of history and then decided they were not just going to stop there.

After being held hitless for seven innings by Bryan Woo and trailing by five runs, the Yankees’ offense erupted just in time to secure a thrilling 6-5 victory over the Mariners in 10 innings, completing a series sweep on Thursday night.

The Yankees rallied with three runs in the eighth inning when Jazz Chisholm Jr. ended Woo’s no-hit effort with a leadoff single. They then equalized in the ninth with Austin Wells’ clutch two-out, two-strike, two-run single, sending the Yankee Stadium crowd into a frenzy.

Aaron Judge sealed the win with a walk-off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th, as Anthony Volpe dashed home and narrowly beat the tag following a powerful throw from center fielder Julio Rodriguez.

The celebration paused temporarily as the Mariners challenged the call, but it was quickly confirmed to keep the party going.

With their fourth straight win, the Yankees (52-41) improved to 2-6 in extra-innings games this season, both of their wins coming at home.



Devin Williams pitched a quick 1-2-3 top of the 10th inning to give the Yankees a chance to walk it off in the bottom of the frame.

Oswald Peraza, who entered the game after Giancarlo Stanton pinch-hit for third baseman Jorbit Vivas in the eighth inning and delivered a two-run homer, led off the 10th inning by trying to get down a bunt.

But instead he popped it up to third base for the first out.

Paul Goldschmidt then pinch-hit for Jasson Domínguez against lefty reliever Gabe Speier, but the Mariners opted to intentionally walk him.

That brought up Trent Grisham, who worked a full-count walk to load the bases for Judge.

Woo dominated the Yankees for seven innings, coming six outs away from throwing the ninth no-hitter against the Yankees in franchise history before Chisholm finally got the Yankees off the schneid with a leadoff single in the eighth inning.

Ben Rice followed with a hard single up the middle and then Wells got the Yankees on the board with a sacrifice fly that made it 5-1.

After Volpe struck out looking against new reliever Matt Brash, Stanton crushed a two-run shot — the first pinch-hit home run of his career in his 58th plate appearance as a pinch-hitter — to make things interesting at 5-3.

Then in the ninth, facing All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz, the Yankees loaded the bases with two outs on singles from Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger and a walk by Ben Rice.

Down to his final strike, Wells ripped a single to right field to tie the game at five.
