NEW YORK — – Ryan McMahon<\/a> and Trent Grisham<\/a> each hit a two-run single in the seventh inning to send the New York Yankees<\/a> past the slumping Seattle Mariners<\/a> 4-1 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Ryan Weathers<\/a> carried a one-hit shutout into the sixth and Luis Garc\u00eda Jr. sparked the decisive rally with his second double of the night for New York, which leads the American League wild-card race.<\/p>\n

Randy Arozarena<\/a> homered in the sixth for the fading Mariners (56-64), who have lost five in a row and 14 of 19 to fall a season-worst eight games under .500. Seattle, which opened a nine-game trip against three teams currently in playoff position, has mustered only five runs during the losing streak and nine in the past seven games.<\/p>\n

Jazz Chisholm Jr<\/a>. sent Garc\u00eda to third with a single in the seventh, and rookie Spencer Jones<\/a> drew a one-out walk. McMahon gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead with a bases-loaded single off reliever Michael Rucker<\/a> (0-4), and Grisham added his two-run single off Eduard Bazardo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tim Hill<\/a> (4-2) replaced Weathers with a runner on in the sixth and retired all four batters he faced. Brent Headrick<\/a> struck out two in a perfect eighth and David Bednar<\/a> got three outs for his 27th save.<\/p>\n

Chisholm was shaken up after trying to field Dominic Canzone<\/a>‘s infield single in the ninth, but the second baseman remained in the game and followed with a terrific defensive play.<\/p>\n

In a matchup between struggling lineups, both starting pitchers shined.<\/p>\n

Seattle right-hander Bryan Woo<\/a> went five innings in his second consecutive scoreless start.<\/p>\n

Weathers extended his career-best shutout streak to 23 innings before Arozarena lined an opposite-field homer to the short porch in right, giving Seattle its second hit and a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The left-hander had set down 11 straight batters before that swing by Arozarena, a Yankees nemesis for years.<\/p>\n

Weathers allowed two hits and three walks in 5 2\/3 innings. Yankees starters have permitted no more than one run in 10 of the past 13 games.<\/p>\n

Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor<\/a> was rested with a sore right wrist.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Mariners RHP Bryce Miller<\/a> (4-6, 3.08 ERA) starts the middle game of the series Wednesday night against RHP Will Warren<\/a> (8-6, 4.18).<\/p>\n
