Aaron Judge’s game-ending sac fly leads Yankees to stunning comeback win over Mariners
Share and Follow

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

The Yankees were unable to get a hit for the first seven innings with Bryan Woo on the mound, and they were losing by five runs. However, their offense suddenly woke up and they managed to secure an exciting 6-5 victory over the Mariners in 10 innings, completing a sweep on Thursday night.

They scored three runs in the eighth inning after Jazz Chisholm Jr. broke up Woo’s no-hit bid with a leadoff single and then tied it in the ninth on Austin Wells’ two-out, two-strike, two-run single that had the Yankee Stadium crowd in a frenzy.

Aaron Judge then delivered the walk-off sacrifice fly with one out in the bottom of the 10th, with Anthony Volpe racing home and diving in just ahead of the tag after a cannon of a 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.
