Ty France hit a tiebreaking RBI single to cap a four-run ninth inning off Clay Holmes as the Seattle Mariners rallied for a 5-4 victory over the host New York Yankees on Monday night.

The Mariners stopped New York's seven-game winning streak by scoring four times off Holmes (1-1), who blew his second save in 15 chances and surrendered earned runs for the first time this season.

With the Mariners trailing 4-1 with two on and one out in the ninth, Luke Raley, who had two of Seattle's three hits off Yankees starter Marcus Stroman, hit an infield single to Gleyber Torres. Julio Rodriguez scored the Mariners' second run on Torres' throwing error, which also allowed Cal Raleigh to advance to third and Raley to take second.

Mitch Haniger followed with an RBI single, and Dominic Canzone hit a game-tying sacrifice fly. France followed by hitting a 2-0 sinker to right field for a 5-4 lead.

Eduard Bazardo (1-0) allowed an RBI single by Jon Berti that pushed New York's lead to 4-1 in the eighth, but he earned the win as Seattle prevailed for the fifth time in its past eight games.

Andres Munoz stranded Juan Soto at first and retired Alex Verdugo on a groundout in the ninth for his ninth save.

Verdugo drove in the first three runs for the Yankees, who were 29-0 when leading after seven innings entering Monday. Verdugo hit a two-run double four batters into the bottom of the first and added an RBI single in the fifth off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert.

Stroman allowed a run in 7 1/3 innings, and Luke Weaver finished off the eighth before Holmes faltered. Stroman struck out six, walked one and exited to a nice ovation after allowing Canzone's homer to end his night.

Gilbert allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings. He struck out one, walked one and avoided his third straight loss thanks to Seattle's comeback.

The Yankees went ahead when Verdugo followed Aaron Judge's long double to center field with a two-base hit down the right field line. After consecutive one-out singles by Soto and Judge, Verdugo smacked a single to center for a 3-0 lead in the fifth.
