MLB.com - The surging New York Yankees won their fifth-straight game on Sunday with a come-from-behind win over the slugging Seattle Mariners, according to MLB.com.

The Yankees scored four runs in the bottom half of the eighth inning to erase a three-run deficit.

Robinson Cano hit a sacrifice fly that scored Alex Rodriguez, and Jose Molina followed that up with a double to allow Hideki Matsui to score the winning run.

Chien Ming-Wang threw 111 pitches over 6.1 innings, allowing seven hits and five earned runs. Jarrod Washburn won the duel, allowing just four hits and two runs in six innings of work, but the Yankees won the war and earned a series sweep.

New York will begin a three-game set with Baltimore on Monday. [READ]
