On a night when the Yankees ended their losing streak and Aaron Judge homered yet again, it wasn't all good news for New York.

Judge hit his 44th homer, Josh Donaldson went deep and drove in three runs, and the Yankees snapped a five-game skid by beating the Seattle Mariners, 9-4, on Monday.

Donaldson doubled twice and Andrew Benintendi also had two doubles and three RBIs as the Yankees hammered Seattle pitching. But they got a bad break early — Matt Carpenter fractured his left foot when he fouled off a pitch in the first inning.

"I have no doubt in my mind that he’s going to still make an impact on this team even while he’s hurt," said Yankees starter Jameson Taillon, who threw seven innings to get the win. "He’s come in here right away and made an impact on a lot of people. He’s not afraid to talk pitching with the pitchers. He’s not afraid to give honest feedback. He’s one of the best guys that I've been around and played with, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds his way back and makes an impact."

Carpenter, who was in a walking boot after the game, said there's no timeframe yet for a possible return, and he would first need to see a foot specialist. Carpenter began the night hitting .307 with 15 home runs and 37 RBIs in just 127 at-bats.

"My mindset is that this won’t be the end for me here this year. I’m hopeful that I can come back and contribute," he said.
