Anthony Volpe scored the tiebreaking run on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Aaron Judge in the 10th inning and the host New York Yankees extended their winning streak by rallying for a 6-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners after being held hitless by Bryan Woo through seven innings on Thursday night.
Following a walk by Trent Grisham against Gabe Speier (2-1), Judge lifted a fly ball to center field and Volpe scored when Julio Rodriguez’s throw was off target. That came after Devin Williams (3-3) tossed a perfect top of the 10th.
Seattle blew a five-run lead when Matt Brash allowed a two-run homer to pinch hitter Giancarlo Stanton in the eighth and Andres Munoz surrendered a two-strike single to Austin Wells with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth.
It was Munoz’s sixth blown save in 27 chances this season.
Before Judge’s game-winner, Woo carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning and allowed two runs in 7 1/3 outstanding innings.
Woo held the Yankees hitless until allowing consecutive singles to Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice on the first two batters of the eighth.
Following a sacrifice fly by Wells, Woo was lifted and Brash allowed the two-run homer to Stanton.
Woo started the game by allowing walks to Jasson Dominguez and Grisham. After the free passes, he struck out Judge and induced a double-play grounder from Cody Bellinger.
Woo finished with five strikeouts, walked two and threw 103 pitches, including 76 four-seam fastballs, in the longest outing of his career.
Woo has completed at least six innings in all 18 of his starts this season, surpassing Mark Langston for the second-longest streak to start a season in Mariners history.
The All-Star right-hander was attempting to throw Seattle’s seventh no-hitter. James Paxton had the last on May 8, 2018 in Toronto.
New York avoided getting no-hit for the ninth time. The Yankees were last no-hit when Houston’s Cristian Javier, Hector Neris and Ryan Pressly combined on a no-hitter June 25, 2022 in Yankee Stadium.
Cole Young and Miles Matstrobuoni hit RBI singles off New York starter Marcus Stroman, who allowed two runs on six hits in five innings. Stroman was making his third start since returning from missing two months with left knee inflammation.
Jorge Polanco hit a three-run homer in the seventh for Seattle.
