Unexpected player leads Yankees to victory over Mariners.
Jhony Brito, a Yankees' not-ready-for-prime-time hurler, surprisingly out-pitched Luis Castillo, the industry's most sought-after starter, in a 4-2 victory against the Mariners. The Yankees' second-tier hitters, including Jake Bauers, Billy McKinney, and Willie Calhoun, carried the offense, providing the team with the therapy they needed after a disastrous sweep at Fenway. The victory ensured the Yankees their first series victory since Aaron Judge went on the IL, but the team will need this second layer of manpower to make it to October, at least until Giancarlo Stanton, DJ LeMahieu, and Josh Donaldson crack the code on their collective slumps.
