Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered twice and Cam Schlittler pitched 5 1/3 solid innings in his major league debut as the New York Yankees recorded a 9-6 victory over the visiting Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night.
Chisholm hit his ninth and 10th homers since returning from an oblique injury on June 3 - a stretch of 31 games. The All-Star second baseman went deep in the third and fifth against Seattle's Logan Evans (3-3) and added a fourth RBI with a groundout to help the Yankees win three straight for the first time since a three-game sweep June 10-12 in Kansas City.
The 24-year-old Schlittler (1-0) allowed three runs, including solo homers to J.P Crawford and Jorge Polanco. He registered two of his seven strikeouts against Cal Raleigh -- getting the major league home run leader on fastballs in the first and sixth.
Called up to replace Clarke Schmidt, who is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery, Schlittler threw 52 of 75 pitches for strikes and averaged 97.9 mph with his fastball.
Jasson Dominguez collected three hits, including an RBI single, and Aaron Judge had a two-run double in the sixth. Those hits occurred after center fielder Julio Rodriguez committed a two-base error on a liner by Oswald Peraza.
Schlittler exited to a loud ovation after fanning Raleigh in the sixth, then Jonathan Loaisiga gave up a two-run homer to Randy Arozarena on the next pitch. Loaisiga also surrendered a two-run shot in the seventh that marked Cole Young's first career homer.
Luke Weaver struck out three in 1 2/3 innings and Devin Williams pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 13th save.
The Yankees jumped ahead 3-0 as their first four hitters reached. Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton hit RBI singles ahead of Chisholm's run-scoring groundout. After Crawford homered down the right field line in the third to cut the margin to 3-1, Chisholm homered onto the netting above Monument Park in center field.
Polanco reached the second deck in right field for a solo homer in the fourth, but the Yankees expanded their lead to 6-2 when Chisholm hit a curveball into the right-field seats. After Young homered, Weaver retired Crawford and Rodriguez to end the seventh and notched two strikeouts in the eighth with a runner on first.
