Yankees blast three home runs in 10-3 win over Mariners

The Yankees blasted three home runs to beat the Mariners 10-3 on Tuesday night in the Bronx.

The Yankees and Mariners were held without runs into the fifth inning before a 35-minute rain delay turned the game around, scoring nine runs in the final two innings, highlighted by a three-run Giancarlo Stanton homer.

Here are the takeaways…

–Will Warren came into Tuesday's game with a 7.50 ERA in the first inning but came out of the opening frame unscathed. The young right-hander matched Seattle starter Logan Gilbert, who was pitching a perfect game through 3.2 innings before Cody Bellinger's single broke it up.

Fans were treated to a pitcher's duel into the fifth inning when the Mariners threatened to push across the game's first run. With runners on the corners with two outs, and a 2-1 count, the tarp was called and the game was put in a rain delay. There was about a 30-minute delay, and Warren went back out there to finish the fifth, throwing just one pitch.

The delay seemed to affect Gilbert who allowed two runners for the first time all game in the fifth. Anthony Volpe came up with runners on first and second and one out. The Yankees shortstop grounded into a fielder's choice setting up Oswald Peraza who hit a soft hopper to the right of second baseman Cole Young, who bobbled it and allowed Peraza to reach safely and drive in the game's first run.

-Warren would pitch into the sixth but would lose his control. A one-out walk to Cal Raleigh and a two-out walk to Jorge Polanco forced Aaron Boone to bring in Tim Hill to get the final out of the inning.

Warren had a great bounce-back outing from his disaster in Toronto, pitching 5.2 shutout innings (85 pitches/56 strikes) while allowing four hits and two walks while striking out four batters.

-With the Yankees hanging on to a 1-0 lead, Aaron Judge and Bellinger started the sixth inning with back-to-back singles.Stanton then gave the team some insurance with a three-run shot that went 401 feet over the right field wall. It's Stanton's second homer of the season and 10th RBI of the season.

His 431st homer tied Cal Ripken Jr. for 50th all-time.

After a one-out double from Paul Goldschmidt, Gilbert was pulled, but the Mariners could not keep the Yankees in the ballpark. Austin Wells drove the first pitch he saw way over the right field wall to give the Yanks a 6-0 lead. It's Wells' third straight game with a long ball. Judge launched a solo shot in the seventh to cut Raleigh's major league lead to just one — until the Mariners catcher hit a two-run shot in the eighth off of Geoff Hartlieb.

–Jazz Chisholm Jr. started at second for the first time since April 29. He finished 1-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and was a noticeable upgrade on defense over DJ LeMahieu.

Peraza did his thing at third base. He ran down a fly ball in shallow left field that Jasson Dominguez lost in the lights, and made a few strong throws to get runners out at first base.

One particular throw in the sixth that got Julio Rodriguez out was thrown at 90.4 mph, the fifth-fastest throw by a third baseman this season.

-Overall, the Yankees put up 10 runs on 13 hits on a Mariners team that shut out the Pirates in all three games over the weekend. Bellinger and Goldschmidt had three hits each, while Dominguez and Volpe were the only starters without a hit in this one.

Game MVP: Giancarlo Stanton
