NEW YORK -- The Mariners went bat-to-bat with the Yankees in an old-fashioned slugfest on Friday night at Yankee Stadium and emerged with a collective sigh of relief that could be heard all the way to Seattle.
The Mariners spotted the Yankees a five-run lead, retaliated against left-handed starter Kei Igawa for six runs over the second, third and fourth innings, fell behind again in the bottom of the fourth, built a seven-run lead thanks to an eight-run fifth inning and then held on for dear life at the end for a 15-11 victory in front of 49,519.
