Seattle Mariners defeat Yankees 10-2

Felix Hernandez won his fifth straight start in the Seattle Mariners' 10-2 shellacking of the struggling New York Yankees.

Kyle Seager and Michael Saunders had big nights at the plate to help Felix Hernandez win his fifth straight start in the Seattle Mariners' 10-2 shellacking of the struggling New York Yankees.

Seager went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer, two triples and three runs scored, with Saunders coming through with a solo shot and a two-run single in Seattle's fifth consecutive road win over New York. Two of those victories came around an April 30 rainout that was made up on Monday.

Brad Miller added a two-run single that snapped a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning, while Mike Zunino finished 2-for-4 with an RBI in the rout.

Hernandez (8-1) aided the cause by continuing his career-long dominance in the Bronx. The Mariners' ace struck out eight without a walk while allowing just two runs over seven innings, improving to 5-1 with a 1.37 ERA in seven career assignments at the current Yankee Stadium.

Six of Seattle's runs were charged to David Phelps (1-3) in the Yankee starter's six-plus inning stint.

Former Mariner great Ichiro Suzuki knocked in New York's lone two runs with a fourth-inning single. Yangervis Solarte ended 2-for-4 with a run scored in the loss, the Yankees' third in four games and 10th in 14 outings at home.
