Judges MLB-leading 15th homer powers Yankees past Mariners 3-2

Bellingham, WASports

Aaron Judge's eighth-inning home run secured a 3-2 victory for the Yankees against the Mariners on May 14. The Mariners' Julio Rodríguez impressed with a home run robbery and two RBIs, helping Seattle take an early lead. In the seventh inning, Paul Goldschmidt tied the game with a pinch-hit home run, setting the stage for Judge's decisive hit. Judge leads MLB in both home runs and batting average, reaching base multiple times in 33 of the Yankees' 43 games this season. The Mariners had a chance to tie in the eighth, but a double play thwarted their efforts.

Ian Hamilton earned his first victory of the year, while Luke Weaver recorded his fourth save. This game highlights the competitive nature of the AL East as both teams vie for playoff positioning. The Yankees will face the Mets next, while the Mariners prepare for a series against the Padres.
