Yankees Defeat Mariners 11-2 in Seattle

The Seattle Mariners suffered a disappointing 11-2 loss to the New York Yankees, marked by critical mistakes on the bases. Julio Rodriguez's mental lapse in the 10th inning led to a costly double play, while Victor Robles's ill-fated attempt to steal home in the first inning ended a prime scoring opportunity for Seattle. The Yankees capitalized on these errors, with Aaron Judge driving in four runs and Juan Soto hitting his 40th career home run, pushing New York closer to clinching a playoff berth. The Mariners' failure to capitalize on key situations has drawn criticism from fans, reflecting a season of inconsistency. As a result, Seattle now trails in the Wild Card race, putting their postseason hopes in jeopardy. The Yankees' victory also extended their lead in the AL East, highlighting their recent dominance.
