Bellingham, WASports

Trent Grisham powered the Yankees to an 11-5 victory over the Mariners on May 12 with two home runs, including a pivotal shot during a six-run fifth inning. His solo homer in the third inning put the Yankees on the board, followed by a second homer that ignited the team's offensive surge. The game took a troubling turn in the ninth inning when Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera suffered a left leg injury while sliding home and required an ambulance for transport. The Mariners, despite hitting three home runs, struggled to keep pace with the Yankees, as Clarke Schmidt limited their scoring opportunities. This loss marked Seattle's season-worst fourth consecutive defeat, now just 1.

5 games ahead of the Athletics in the AL West. Paul Goldschmidt continued his impressive road performance, hitting safely in all 20 away games this season, with seven doubles and two home runs. The Yankees will look to build on this win as they face Mariners RHP Bryan Woo in the next game. Cabrera's injury raises concerns for the Yankees as they navigate the season.
