The Yankees defeated the Mariners 4-1 on Tuesday night, with the game's decisive action coming in the seventh inning. The Yankees' offense was held scoreless through six innings before producing four runs in the seventh, per Yahoo Sports. One account noted the Yankees employed small-ball tactics rather than relying on power hitting to generate those runs, while another described the inning as an "old-school rally."
The victory comes as part of a three-game winning streak that has vindicated manager Aaron Boone's optimism about the team, per MLB.com's reporting of the broader narrative.
