NEW YORK (AP) — Cameron Maybin narrowly beat right fielder Jay Bruce’s throw home on DJ LeMahieu’s game-ending, ninth-inning hit, lifting the New York Yankees over the Seattle Mariners 5-4 on a soggy Tuesday night.
LeMahieu drove a single to right off Roenis Elias, and Maybin charged in from second and slid feet-first around a tag from catcher Omar Narváez. Plate umpire Dana DeMuth’s safe call was upheld on replay review.
Gio Urshela hit a tying two-run homer three batters earlier, a shot to center off Anthony Swarzak (2-2). That shot jolted a waterlogged Yankee Stadium crowd that had been jeering its own players amid sloppy play and missed chances in the later innings.
