SEATTLE, July 9 (UPI) -- A seeing-eye single by Alex Rodriguez scored two runs in the top of the ninth Thursday and gave the New York Yankees a 3-1 win over Seattle.
Rodriguez came up with one out and runners on second and third and chopped a fastball from David Aardsma (0-6) through the right side of the infield to break a 1-1 tie and notch the New Yorkers' sixth consecutive win.
The rally also gave a win to Andy Pettitte (11-2) who gave up one run on five hits and nine strikeouts in eight innings. Mariano Rivera set the Mariners down in order in the ninth for his 20th save.
Ichiro Suzuki had two of Seattle's five hits. His bunt in the sixth inning led to a run when Pettitte threw the ball away, allowing Josh Wilson to race home safely and put the Mariners ahead 1-0.
The Yankees tied the score in the eighth when Rodriguez moved from second to third on a wild pitch by Brian Sweeney and then scored on a double-play ball from Jorge Posada.
