Rookie Bryan Woo took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and the Seattle Mariners hit four home runs, cruising to a 10-2 win over the host New York Yankees to avoid a series sweep on Thursday night.
Woo (1-1) entered the sixth at 81 pitches. He lost his no-hit bid by allowing a single to Gleyber Torres on his 92nd pitch and was lifted after allowing a single to Anthony Rizzo on the next pitch.
Kolten Wong, Ty France, Teoscar Hernandez and Cal Raleigh homered off Yankees starter Domingo German (4-5). German was chased in the fourth inning after allowing eight earned runs (a career-high 10 overall) on eight hits. He walked two and struck out four.
Hernandez also had an RBI single in the first inning and collected three hits overall.
Eugenio Suarez added a two-run double in the four-run first inning, with the last run scoring on Mike Ford's sacrifice fly. The Mariners added two runs apiece in the second, third and fourth innings. The Yankees made two errors to pave the way for the Mariners in the third. The runs scored on Ford's erred grounder and Jose Caballero's sacrifice fly.
Woo entered with a 7.30 ERA. He walked three and struck out five. He has allowed two runs or fewer in his past three starts after allowing six runs in two innings in his big league debut June 3.
German was rocked for a second straight start. He walked two and fanned four in 3 1/3 innings. German was booed off the mound six days after allowing seven runs in two innings in a 15-5 loss at Boston.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a two-run homer in the ninth after pitching in the top half of the inning. The Yankees lost for the ninth time in 15 games since losing Aaron Judge to a right toe injury.
Wong blasted a 2-1 fastball for a homer to right field to open the second, and three batters later, France drove a 1-0 sinker to the Seattle bullpen in left-center.
In the third, Suarez scored from first when Josh Donaldson bobbled Ford's grounder for the first error, and German was charged with the second error when the throw caromed off his glove. Caballero hen lifted a sacrifice fly.
Hernandez and Raleigh hit back-to-back homers in the fourth.
