Felix Hernandez dominated the New York Yankees in their own ballpark again, pitching his third shutout of the season to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 1-0 win on a sunny, sticky Saturday.
Hernandez outpitched Hiroki Kuroda (10-8) in a duel of right-handers who hadn't lost since June. Mike Carp hit an RBI single in the second inning for Seattle, which had its seven-game winning streak snapped the night before. The Yankees have lost 10 of 15.
After Robinson Cano doubled with two outs in the first, Hernandez (10-5) didn't allow another runner to second. He retired Curtis Granderson, Derek Jeter and Cano in order in the ninth, fanning Cano to end the game in a breezy two hours and 32 minutes.
