Completing the three-game series sweep, the Mariners edged the Yankees, 6-5, rallying for three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Julio Cruz started by drawing a one-out walk. After Bobby Valentine fanned, Tom Paciorek singled and was replaced by pinch-runner Joe Simpson. A walk to Leon Roberts loaded the sacks.
