Yankees, no-hit for 7 innings, rally to beat Mariners in 10th - ESPN
NEW YORK — Anthony Volpe scored the winning run with an acrobatic slide on Aaron Judge's shallow sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, and the New York Yankees rallied past Seattle 6-5 on Thursday night after Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo took a no-hitter into the eighth.
It was the first time in 236 games since 1977 that a team had come back to win after being no-hit through seven innings and trailing by five or more runs, according to ESPN Research.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled leading off the eighth for New York's first hit. Woo quickly allowed another single and was lifted after Austin Wells' sacrifice fly shaved Seattle's lead to 5-1.
Pinch-hitter Giancarlo Stanton made it 5-3 with a two-run homer off Matt Brash, and the Yankees were down to their final strike before tying it on Wells' two-run single off All-Star closer Andres Munoz in the ninth.
It was the sixth blown save for Munoz in 27 chances this season, and the first win for the Yankees when trailing by at least five runs in the eighth inning or later since beating Texas on June 29, 2016.
The Yankees were 0-35 this season when trailing through eight innings, and they were 0-23 when trailing by three runs or more at any point in a game this season.
The last team to win after being no-hit through seven and trailing by five or more runs was the Pittsburgh Pirates, who rallied for a 6-5 victory after being stymied by Montreal Expos starter Wayne Twitchell on June 24, 1977.
New York completed a three-game sweep in a series between American League playoff contenders and won its fourth straight following its second six-game skid since mid-June.
The Mariners, meanwhile, lost on a walk-off for the seventh time this season.
Seattle's Cole Young and Miles Mastrobuoni each hit an
