The Yankees faced a frustrating 1-0 deficit against the Mariners before managing to tie in the eight, only to lose in extra innings. While their offense faltered, the Detroit Tigers fought through a thrilling game against the Boston Red Sox, ultimately winning in the 11th inning after back-and-forth scoring. This stark contrast highlights the Yankees' challenges compared to the competitive action around the league, especially in AL games on the same night.
While the Yankees played out a snoozefest in Seattle, the Sox were engaged in a barnburner with Detroit, trading blows and never letting either side get too much separation.
The Red Sox were down two now, but they tied the game in the eighth inning on a David Hamilton two-run blast, and the bullpens managed to bring the game to extras.
