- 13
Again the M’s struck out 13 times in a game, this time most of the Ks came from the top of the order as Logan Morrison went down on strikes three times while Austin Jackson, Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz combined for four more punch-outs.
- Eight
The number of innings thrown by Mariners starter Taijuan Walker. The youngster collected seven strikeouts while only allowing three runs (all earned) on five hits. He walked one batter.
- Six
The number of baserunners managed by the M’s. When your team’s strikeout-to-walk ratio is 13-1, things aren’t going too well offensively. Masahiro Tanaka was good for the Yankees, but the M’s just couldn’t muster up enough offense.
- One
The number of combined hits by Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager. Seager had the only hit of the trio, but struck out three times. On the day the middle of the Mariners batting order went 1-for-12 with six strikeouts. Again, not going to cut it.
