The Mariners broke their seven-game losing streak by defeating the Yankees, 5-2. Reggie Jackson homered with a man on base in the first inning to account for the Yankees' runs. The Mariners picked up a tally in their half and went ahead with a pair in the sixth on three hits and two errors. Jose Baez then iced the decision with a two-run double in the seventh.
