INSIDE THE MATCHUPS

MARINERS: After a slow start, Harang has put together back-to-back quality starts. The right-hander was a hard-luck loser in his last outing, a 4-1 loss to the Pirates, in which he allowed two runs and five hits in six innings.

YANKEES: Pettitte, who had two straight poor outings against the Astros and Athletics, captured the command of his cutter Saturday against the Royals. In that outing, the veteran left-hander allowed two runs in seven innings.

STAT SO?

MARINERS: After the victory, Seattle now has a 12-1 record when scoring four-plus runs in a game.

YANKEES: The Bombers’ record fell to 10-4 in the second game of a series this season.
