The New York Yankees secured a 5-0 victory against the Seattle Mariners in the final game of their four-game series. The standout performer of the game was Luis Gil, who delivered another impressive performance after coming off a 14-strikeout game against the Chicago White Sox. Gil only allowed one hit over 6.1 innings, striking out eight batters and walking two to lower his season ERA to 2.11.
The entire Yankee starting lineup, with the exception of Anthony Rizzo, recorded at least one hit. Rizzo did contribute an RBI and got on base by being hit by a pitch. Multiple hits came from Volpe, Judge, and Oswaldo Cabrera. The offensive players were key contributors to the team’s success in this game. Giancarlo Stanton launched a massive solo home run in the second inning, Aaron Judge added a homer in the third, and Juan Soto contributed with an RBI single in the seventh. When Stanton and Judge are both producing, the Yankees lineup becomes even more formidable. This game marked the 40th time that both Stanton and Judge have homered in the same game.
Clay Holmes closed out the game in the ninth inning, pitching in a non-save situation and striking out two batters despite allowing a couple of singles. The MVP for this game was undoubtedly Luis Gil, with his outstanding performance on the mound.
Looking ahead, the Yankees will now embark on a nine-game road trip starting with a series against the San Diego Padres
