Seattle Mariners lose to New York Yankees 3-4 – MLB News
Seattle Mariners continued to disappoint their fans as they took another embarrassing 3-4 loss against the New York Yankees at the Yankee Stadium in New York, NY on Tuesday, May 14 in the opening game of their three match series
of the 2013 Major League Baseball regular season. With their win the Yankees improved their record to 25-14 and it will be interesting to see if they can keep up their excellent work to complete another important home series victory.
Mariners, on the other hand, will be looking to learn from their mistakes to get back into the series. However, on a road trip, Eric Wedge and his men will find it challenging to overcome the Yankees. Mariners’ starting pitcher
Felix Hernandez displayed top quality pitching skills as he allowed just five hits and one run in six solid innings but despite his heroic show the Mariners were unable to find winning ways. Yankees came back from behind to clinch a thrilling win in front
of their home crowd.
"He was feeling it," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said.
"I'm going to be fine," said Hernandez, adding he'd treat his back with ice. "Nothing serious."
"I didn't want to take any chances," Wedge said. "Under any other circumstances, I'm sending him out there. And I wanted to send him out there."
"We had some chances off him, but he basically did what he usually does. He gets people out when they get on. He even gets better," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
"I was in the middle," Hernandez said.
"It was hard luck," Hernandez said.
Relief pitcher Yoervis Medina had a terrible time on the mound as he allowed one run in just 0.1 inning of relief and reliever Charlie Furbush took his second straight loss of the season after allowed two runs and one hit in a
poor showing.
After the Mariners took the early lead, Robinson Canon showed no signs of nerves, earning a double to deep right centre in the seventh inning to level up the score 3-3. With momentum on their side the Yankees continued to put pressure
on their opponents and eventually prevailed in a nail biting contest.
