The New York Yankees were smoked by the Seattle Mariners, 10-2, thanks to a poor performance by Domingo Germán, who gave up 10 runs total and also surrendered four home runs. It was not the bounce-back performance the Yankees or even Germán needed. The Yankees' offense was quiet until the ninth when Isaiah Kiner-Falefa hit a home run. By the way, he also pitched in this one. Stacey and Steve discuss Thursday’s performance, then answer your questions for Fan Mail Friday! We answer questions about Giancarlo Stanton, Estevan Florial, Dillion Lawson (the hitting coach), and Hal Steinbrenner, plus questions about the looming trade deadline, Austin Wells, and Aaron Judge’s contract.
