The Yankees won a game on Monday night, but they still managed to lose.
The Bombers’ snapped their five-game skid with a 9-4 victory at the Mariners. The bounce-back came with a cost though: Slugging utility man Matt Carpenter fractured his left foot after fouling a ball off it. He was in a boot after the game and is out indefinitely. Carpenter expressed hope he will be healed up for the postseason, but there is no timetable for his return.
Carpenter has been a revelation since general manager Brian Cashman picked him up off the scrap heap in late May.
