BOTTOM LINE: The New York Yankees will try to keep their three-game home win streak intact when they face the Seattle Mariners. New York is 51-41 overall and 28-17 in home games. The Yankees have the best team slugging percentage in the AL at .457.

J.P. Crawford and Jorge Polanco hit solo homers while Randy Arozarena and rookie Cole Young hit two-run shots for the Mariners, who are trying to avoid being swept for the first time since June 9-11 at Arizona.

NEW YORK — Mariners reliever Casey Legumina started his outing on Tuesday night with a first-pitch sweeper to Yankees catcher Austin Wells, a surprise to try and get ahead.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered twice and drove in four runs, and Cam Schlittler won his impressive major league debut as the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 9-6 on Wednesday night.

Schlittler will get his first chance to state his case for a rotation spot when he makes his MLB debut versus the Mariners on Wednesday.

After earning a Gold Glove Award in his rookie season and batting .243 last year, Volpe is batting just .219 with a career-low .963 fielding percentage at shortstop this season.

Rafael Flores is not only the most underrated prospect in the Yankees' system, but he's one of the most underrated prospects in the game. He's only the No. 15-ranked prospect in New York's system per MLB Pipeline, but I think he's far more exciting and can fetch the Yankees an exciting return if they're willing to deal him.
