Pinch-hitter Giancarlo Stanton made it 5-3 with a two-run homer off Matt Brash, and the Yankees were down to their final strike multiple times before tying it on Wells' two-run single off All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz in the ninth.

In the case of Andres Munoz tipping his pitches on Thursday night against the New York Yankees, there appears to be some unfair criticism being levied at the M's' braintrust.

NEW YORK — Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh thinks All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz was tipping pitches when he squandered a two-run lead in the ninth inning Thursday night against the New York Yankees. Muñoz was handed his sixth blown save in 27 opportunities this season after starter Bryan Woo held the Yankees hitless into the eighth.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh said the New York Yankees were not “discreet” about picking up on closer Andrés Muñoz’s tipped pitches.

NEW YORK — After getting no-hit for the first seven innings against the Mariners on Thursday night, the Yankees proved that it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. The Yankees broke up Bryan Woo’s bid for a no-hitter with a Jazz Chisholm Jr. single to lead off the eighth inning.

BOTTOM LINE: The New York Yankees will try to keep their three-game home win streak intact when they face the Seattle Mariners. New York is 51-41 overall and 28-17 in home games. The Yankees have the best team slugging percentage in the AL at .457.
