Aaron Judge hit two home runs, giving him an American League-leading 17 this season, as the New York Yankees defeated the host Seattle Mariners 10-4 Monday night.
Jake Bauers also homered for New York and Julio Rodriguez went deep for Seattle.
Yankees right-hander Domingo German (3-3), making his first start since May 16 after serving a 10-game suspension for using illegal foreign substances, allowed four runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings, with three walks and four strikeouts.
Mariners rookie Bryce Miller (3-2) was tagged for eight runs on 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings. The right-hander didn't walk a batter and struck out three.
With the score tied 1-1 in the top of the third inning, Yankees leadoff hitter Gleyber Torres lined a single to center field. Judge then hammered a 3-2 fastball off the foul pole in left to give New York the lead for good.
Bauers led off the fourth with a homer down the right field line to extend the lead to 4-1.
Rodriguez got that run back in the bottom of the inning, lining a leadoff homer over the Yankees' bullpen in left-center field. Rodriguez extended his hitting streak to eight games. He has multiple hits in seven of those, including the past six.
The Yankees pulled away with a four-run fifth. Torres grounded a single to center and Judge followed with a double off the left field wall. Willie Calhoun grounded a double down the right field line, scoring both runners. One out after Greg Allen was hit by a pitch, Isiah Kiner-Falefa grounded a two-run double down the left field line, making it 8-2 and ending Miller's night.
Rodriguez had a two-run single in the bottom of the inning.
Judge homered with one out in the sixth off Juan Then, with the ball just out of reach of a leaping Jarred Kelenic in left field.
Judge robbed Seattle's Teoscar Hernandez of a home run, making a leaping catch at the wall to end the eighth inning.
The Yankees' Harrison Bader left the game with right hamstring tightness after legging out an infield single in the third.
