SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners hit fewer home runs than the New York Yankees, but got more scoring out of them.Mike Zunino and Kyle Seager each hit a three-run homer and Nelson Cruz added a solo shot as the Mariners rallied to beat the Yankees 7-5 Monday night.The Yankees got two homers apiece from rookie catcher Gary Sanchez and Starlin Castro -- all off starter Cody Martin -- but three of them were solo shots.You win by the homer, you die by the homer, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. I think thats the story of tonights game. We had a rough one yesterday and we got some big hits tonight.New York took a 5-3 lead in the sixth inning on a two-run shot by Sanchez, his eighth homer of the season and sixth in the last seven games, and Castros second solo homer, his 17th.Zunino, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on July 20, answered in the bottom half with his ninth home run -- off Anthony Swarzak (1-2) -- to put Seattle ahead 6-5.We had in the report that he was about a 50 percent slider guy, so I went up there and I knew I was going to get that eventually, Zunino said. I ended up seeing only one fastball. Thats where I step out 3-2 and tell myself to commit to hitting the slider and I was able to get one up in the zone and drive it.Cruz added a solo homer, his 32nd, in the eighth.Nick Vincent (3-3) retired all three batters he faced to get the win. Rookie Edwin Diaz survived a shaky ninth, putting runners on second and third with one out before getting Mark Teixeira on a fly ball and Brett Gardner on a grounder to pick up his 10th save in 10 chances.The Mariners, who gave up four runs in the ninth inning in a 7-6 loss to Milwaukee on Sunday when Diaz was rested, remained one game behind Baltimore for the second American League wild card.Robinson Cano singled to open the bottom of the sixth and Seager drew a one-out walk, chasing starter Michael Pineda. Left-hander Tommy Layne relieved and retired lefty-hitting Adam Lind. Right-hander Swarzak came on but gave up the homer into the right-field seats by the righty-hitting Zunino on a 3-2 pitch.Sanchez, honored as AL Player of the Week earlier in the day, had a solo homer in the first and Castro another in the second to give New York a 2-0 lead. Sanchez also had a single in four at-bats to raise his average to .385 and threw out a runner trying to steal second.Its very tough when you can put a couple runs on the board and hit some home runs but you dont win the game, Sanchez said. Unfortunately, it didnt go our way tonight, tomorrow we have to come back and try to win.Seagers three-run homer put Seattle up 3-2 in the fourth. Seth Smith doubled and moved to third on Canos single. Smith was then caught too far down the line on Cruzs high chopper and was tagged out trying to get back to third. Seager got the green light on a 3-0 pitch and hit his 24th homer over the center-field wall.Its the ultimate hitters count, Seager said. If you get into that count and you get the green light, you can be as picky as you want to be. Fortunately for me there, I got a pitch to hit. Theyre hard to come by off of him (Pineda).Mariners right fielder Shawn OMalley, who came on as a defensive replacement in the seventh, had a sensational catch for the second out of that inning, making a long run into foul territory and reaching over the wall to snag Tyler Austins fly ball, hanging on as he tumbled into the seats.SANCHEZ REMAINS RED HOTOver his last seven games, the Yankees rookie catcher is hitting .560 (14-for-25) with six homers, two doubles, nine RBI, four walks and six runs scored.Its been unbelievable what hes done, the way hes swung the bat, the way hes played defense, the job hes done, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. He throws another guy out. Hes been extremely impressive.YANKEES STREAK ENDSNew York had won eight consecutive games at Safeco Field since June 8, 2013, tied for the longest winning streak by any visiting team.

Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. Wholesale Yeezy . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. Yeezy Sale . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times.It was 20 years ago last month when the world began to understand that golf, at least for the near future, wouldnt be the same.Tiger Woods was on the prowl in Las Vegas, stalking what would become his first professional win. I walked inside the ropes alongside him, amid frenzied sounds from the crowd unlike any Id heard on the golf course before.I was also next to the 18th green at Torrey Pines 12 years later when Woods -- playing basically on one leg -- rolled in a 15-footer to force a playoff in the U.S. Open. The next day, productivity in offices around the nation plummeted as workers tuned in to see if he could finish off a miracle win against Rocco Mediate.He did, of course, winning his 14th major. Bum leg or not, there seemed no way Woods could be stopped on the golf course.That was his last major championship win, a fact that remains startling, and even a little sad. Its almost incomprehensible that its eight years later, and equally incomprehensible the things that have gone on with Woods during that time.Some were of his own making, and were stunning by themselves. Others were simply a reflection on the toll Father Time and a violent golf swing can take on a body.As much as we hope for it, greatness never lasts. Its fleeting at best, even for the best.Sandy Koufax had five great years before flaming out. Jim Brown quit after nine seasons, and even Tom Brady will one day have to hang them up.Woods perseveres, though, even if the best hell ever do is show flashes of what he once had. Hes no longer going to dominate, and its still a big question whether he will even be competitive again.Woods, though, has plans. This is golf, remember, where Jack Nicklaus won the Masters at the age of 46 and Davis Love won on the PGA Tour last year at 51.No one cuts you in golf. No one boos you from the grandstands or tells you youre not good enough to play on a team.To see those guys, in those various sports, if you lose a little bit, youre going to probably be replaced, Woods said. But in golf, I can play a different way and get away with it.Woods tees off Thursday in a tournament that means nothing. The Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas is little more than an 18-player exhibition Woods himself set up years ago to make some money for his foundation and give playerss he likes some easy holiday bonus money.dddddddddddd.But it means everything to Woods. Its a barometer not only of where his game is now, but whether he can come back from a 15-month layoff and somehow compete at the highest level again.Oddsmakers dont like his chances, listing him last in the field as a 40-1 longshot to win. With good reason, because a new generation has taken over golf and they dont know what it means to be intimidated the way players were intimidated by Tiger in his prime.Woods now has gray in his goatee, and less hair on top of his head. He turns 41 next month, and is the oldest player in the field.He still draws eyeballs, but now they are more out of curiosity and misplaced hope than anything else. In the pro-am on Wednesday, two eagles on the front nine by Woods sent some golf writers and followers straight to social media sites to proclaim there is still some greatness there.Woods isnt ready to go that far. But hes no longer worried about embarrassing himself like he did last year when he had the yips chipping in Phoenix, and believes he can still get the ball in the hole.Its fun for me to do this, he said. Thats what people probably dont quite understand. I love to compete, I love playing against these guys and I miss being out here.Golf fans miss seeing Woods, too. At the recent Ryder Cup, he still had people yelling his name as he drove a golf cart between holes while serving as an assistant captain.We watch because we remember the greatness, the drives that sailed past everyone and the putts that always seemed to go in. Well also watch because there exists the possibility of a train wreck yet again.Things are different now, Woods insists, even though he aborted a comeback last month in California because he felt he wasnt ready. He says he has rediscovered the shots that have been missing from his game.I can play, he said. I can play, I can compete and hopefully I can get out there and shoot something.Woods will shoot something, thats for sure. But that may be the only guarantee he has all week.----Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press. Write to him at tdahlberg(at)ap.org ' ' '
