Gonzales allowed a career-high six runs on eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. He tied a career high by allowing three homers and lost for the first time since May 12 in Detroit.

The Mariners took a 1-0 lead when Gordon doubled to center field, advanced on a fielding error by shortstop Didi Gregorius and scored on Haniger's ground ball to third.

The Yankees tied it when Stanton lifted Gonzales' first-pitch curveball onto the netting above Monument Park beyond the center field fence with two outs in the first. It was his 17th homer and fifth hit in six at-bats.

The game stayed tied until the fifth when Andujar drove Gonzales' 2-2 curveball 427 feet into the left field seats for his ninth homer. Hicks became the sixth Yankee to reach 10 homers when he lifted Gonzales' first-pitch changeup over the left-center field fence after Clint Frazier singled.

The Mariners ended German's run when Cruz lifted a first-pitch fastball into the first row of the left field seats just out of reach of Frazier's leaping attempt.
