From the Yankees after their 2-0 loss to the Mariners on Sunday:

The Yankees saw their five-game winning streak interrupted … it was their longest winning streak since a season-high six-game winning streak, 5/18-23 … a 5-2 record in their seven-game homestand. Still 5-1 in their last six games, 8-2 in their last 10, 10-3 in their last 13 … Their record of 19-9 (.679) since 7/6 is still the second best record of the Majors during this period, behind the Tampa Bay Rays (19-8, .704). Are 13 days in a 17 day period with no rest day (7 / 27-8 / 12) … are 10-3 so far in this period. Have won eight of their last nine series after losing their previous three … have won or split 23 of their last 31 series since 04/20 (20-8-3). Have won each of their last nine series against the Seattle Mariners (since 8/22/16) and 12 of their last 13 series since 6/10/14 … are 23-6 in their Last 29 games against Seattle (since 8/23/16) and 29-10 in their last 39 games (since 2015).
