“#Yankees rally again to beat Mariners for fifth straight win<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

As they try to stage a big resurgence, the Yankees are beginning to use daily comebacks to climb back into playoff position.<\/p>\n

Their latest came Saturday in The Bronx, where they overcame a three-run deficit to beat the Mariners 5-4 for their fifth straight win \u2014 including four straight come-from-behind victories.<\/p>\n

The Yankees (61-49) clinched the series<\/a> win over the Mariners (58-54) \u2014 who had arrived in The Bronx on Thursday just one game<\/a> behind the Bombers in the AL wild-card standings \u2014 using late rallies each time. Joey Gallo and Brett Gardner delivered the winning hits in the first two games before the Yankees used a less dramatic app<\/a>roach \u2014 with some help from the Mariners \u2014 to complete their comeback Saturday.<\/p>\n

With their 31st comeback win of the season, the Yankees inched closer to the final playoff spot in the American League, getting within one game of the Athletics (who played Saturday afternoon against the Rangers) for the final wild-card spot.<\/p>\n

After Aroldis Chapman landed on the injured list before the game with left elbow inflammation, Jonathan Loaisiga recorded the save with a perfect ninth inning.<\/p>\n

The Yankees entered the sixth inning trailing 4-1, then made their move.<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton started the rally with his second single of the day before Rougned Odor went down to one knee to hook a two-run home run to the short porch in right field. The 328-foot homer (which Stacast said had an expected batting average of .030) knocked former Met Chris Flexen out of the game.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s hero, Brett Gardner, flew out for the first out, but the Mariners to serve up a gift on the next at-bat. Gleyber Torres pinch-hit for Tyler Wade and hit an innocent fly ball to right field. Mitch Haniger stumbled while trying to backtrack on the dirt and failed to catch the ball as Torres reached third on the error.<\/p>\n
