NEW YORK -- Clarke Schmidt thought he tipped his pitch to Seattle's Dylan Moore, who put the Mariners ahead to stay with a two-run homer in the third inning of a 6-3 win over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.

Josh Rojas had doubled with one out to become the Mariners' first runner, and Schmidt said after the game that Rojas had relayed his intent to throw a full-count cutter.

"Obviously tipping is a part of this game and it's a factor and it's always in the back of our heads and something that we're well aware of," Schmidt said.
