NEW YORK, May 23 (UPI) -- Shelley Duncan had a three-run homer and Robinson Cano also had three RBI Friday in carrying the New York Yankees past Seattle 13-2.
After losing four straight, the Yankees won their third in a row. Bobby Abreu, Hideki Matsui and Chad Moeller all had two RBI to give Andy Pettitte (4-5) plenty of support.
Pettitte gave up two runs on eight hits in six innings to halt a personal four-game skid.
The Yankees broke the game open with an eight-run fifth, during which they sent 13 men to the plate. Matsui, Moeller and Abreu all had two-run singles in the inning.
Duncan's homer came in the second and gave New York a 3-1 lead.
Erik Bedard (3-3) allowed nine runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 to take the loss. Seattle has dropped four straight.
The Yankees were without Manager Joe Girardi, who was suspended for one game and fined for his tirade directed at umpire Chris Guccione during the ninth inning of New York's win over Baltimore Thursday.
Seattle Manager John McLaren was kicked out of this game in the second inning after arguing a strike call on Ichiro Suzuki.
