Robinson Cano hit a two-run double, Lyle Overbay delivered a tiebreaking sacrifice fly and the New York Yankees rallied in the seventh inning after King Felix was forced to make an early exit, beating Seattle 4-3 Tuesday night.

The Smoke & Mirrors Tour that has produced baseball's biggest surprise sailed into the Inner Harbor last night and met its match.

Andy Pettitte and Chris Stewart became the latest Yankees to get hurt, and emergency Seattle starter Hector Noesi pitched into the fifth inning in place of ailing Aaron Harang to lead the Mariners over New York 3-2 Thursday night.

So what was he doing tossing 3 innings of scoreless relief for New Orleans against the Tacoma Rainiers last weekend? "I was rehabbing my left hip, and was in Tacoma when I blew out my elbow," said Aardsma.

On a night of injuries, the Seattle Mariners patched together just enough pitching to win.

I have a golden opportunity this weekend and I hope I can take full advantage of it.

New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte was removed from Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners with a tight left trapezius muscle.

Robinson Cano hit a two-run double, Lyle Overbay delivered a tiebreaking sacrifice fly and the Yankees rallied in the seventh inning after King Felix was forced to make an early exit, beating Seattle 4-3 Tuesday night.

The slugging outfielder became the first of the Yankees' injured All-Stars to return to the lineup, and New York beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 Tuesday night for its seventh victory in eight games.

Robinson Cano and Lyle Overbay each drove in two runs and spurred a seventh-inning rally that lifted the New York Yankees to a 4-3 triumph over the Seattle Mariners in the opener of a three-game series.

It seems far-fetched for the Mariners to actually be rated a better team than the Yankees here.

Eduardo Nunez has hoped to avoid a stint on the 15-day disabled list, but the Yankees are running out of time to make a decision with the sidelined shortstop.

After struggling with the bats recently, the plucky Yankees spanked Royals hurlers on the way to an 11-6 victory that was witnessed by 24,521 at Kauffman Stadium.

The New York Yankees didn't plan on making all that many moves this past offseason, but a roster decimated by spring training injuries forced general manager Brian Cashman to acquire players to fill the holes vacated by injured stars.
