The Seattle Mariners bounced back from a disappointing home stand by taking two of three games from the New York Yankees in the Bronx. Many fans were panicking as the M’s team plane left Sea-Tac last Wednesday, but the way they played over the weekend calmed the choppy waters.
The series opener against the Yanks was on Jackie Robinson Day, and the Mariners did Jackie proud by crushing the Yankees. Seattle scored 7 runs on 12 hits and Nate Karns turned in a solid outing as they cruised to a 7-1 win on Friday night.
