With only two wins under his belt in eleven game started, Phil Hughes earned his third win with an outstanding outing against the Mariners. Hughes pitched as good as he's ever pitched as the he led the Yankees to a 6-1 victory over the Mariners. The Yankee offense had his back tonight as well as they put up a six spot in the third inning.
Phil Hughes allowed one run on three hits in seven innings of work. He struck out seven and walked two batters. He concluded his outing with 111 pitches thrown, in which 70 of them were for strikes.
Robinson Cano got the Yankees on the board in the third inning with a three-run home run to right field. Mark Teixeira would match Cano as he drilled a solo shot to right field.
After a Travis Hafner single and a Kevin Youkilis double, Vernon Wells drove in Hafner with a bloop single to right field. Youkilis would eventually score one batter later on the Ichiro Suzuki single.
Those six runs in the third inning would be all the Yankees needed.
Preston Claiborne, Boone Logan, and Shawn Kelley all had scoreless outings coming out of the bullpen.
The Yankees and Mariners will play the middle game of their three-game set tomorrow night.
