After being down 3-1 through the first six innings against Felix Hernandez, the Yankees fortune turned as Hernandez didn't come back out to pitch the seventh inning. With that being said, the Yankees scored three runs in the seventh inning off of the Mariners bullpen, which led them to a 4-3 comeback win in the opener of their three game series. C.C. Sabathia picked up a no decision tonight, as well as Felix Hernandez. Both pitches failed to go more than seven innings and it turned out to be a battle of the bullpens in the late innings.

Sabathia allowed three runs, two of them earned, in six and a third innings of work. He struck out ten and walked only two. His pitched count was elevated and he finished his outing with 112 pitches thrown, in which 75 of them were for strikes. 

Robinson Cano proved to be the difference in the game tonight. Trailing by two runs with one out in the seventh inning, Cano doubled off the right-center field wall to tie the game at three. He would later come around to score on the game-winning sacrifice fly by Lyle Overbay. 

The Yankee bullpen was perfect again tonight and did not allow a run or a hit. 

Mariano Rivera picked up his 16th save in as many opportunities to seal the win. 

The Yankees and Mariners will be back at it tomorrow night to play the middle game of their three game series.

Yankees activate Curtis Granderson from disabled list

The Yankees have announced on Tuesday that they have reinstated outfielder Curtis Granderson from the disabled list. Curtis has been out since February with a broken forearm, which he suffered in his first spring training game.

Granderson is in the lineup on Tuesday, batting cleanup and playing left field, against the Mariners.

In order to make room for Granderson, the Yankees have sent Vidal Nuno down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
