Yankees overcome 5-run deficit beating Mariners in 10 innings amid Munoz pitch tipping claims

The New York Yankees staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Seattle Mariners 6-5 in extra innings, overcoming a five-run deficit after Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo had held them hitless through seven innings. The pivotal moment came in the ninth inning when Mariners closer Andrés Muñoz was found to be tipping his pitches, with Yankees baserunners at second base signaling to batters whether a slider or fastball was coming. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh acknowledged the Yankees' actions were not discreet and admitted the team should have caught on sooner, but said he hesitated to alert Muñoz more directly to avoid distracting him. Despite the controversy, Raleigh and others emphasized that pitch tipping and sign stealing in this manner is legal in baseball. Seattle manager Dan Wilson, however, disputed that Muñoz was tipping pitches, instead attributing the loss to the Mariners' poor execution in key moments. The Yankees completed a sweep of the series with this win, capped by Aaron Judge's walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning.
