The Yankees were unable to take the series against the Mariners as they were defeated 3-2 on Thursday night. Andy Pettitte, the Yankees starter, exited in the fifth inning with upper back stiffness and is day-to-day. Chris Stewart also left the game in the eighth inning with a groin injury.
Pettitte allowed two runs on four hits in four and two thirds innings of work. He struck out five but walked three. He exited his injury shortened start with 79 pitches, in which 48 of them were for strikes.
David Adams got the Yankees on the board in the second inning with a RBI double, which was his first RBI of his career that scored Curtis Granderson. The Yankees would collect one more run in the seventh inning on an infield single by Robinson Cano that scored Ichiro Suzuki.
With the tying run at third base with two outs in the ninth inning, Robinson Cano grounded out to shortstop to end the Yankees bid to tie the game.
The Yankees will begin a three-game series with the Blue Jays tomorrow.
