SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners hit fewer home runs than the New York Yankees, but got more scoring out of them.Mike Zunino and Kyle Seager each hit a three-run homer and Nelson Cruz added a solo shot as the Mariners rallied to beat the Yankees 7-5 Monday night.The Yankees got two homers apiece from rookie catcher Gary Sanchez and Starlin Castro -- all off starter Cody Martin -- but three of them were solo shots.You win by the homer, you die by the homer, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. I think thats the story of tonights game. We had a rough one yesterday and we got some big hits tonight.New York took a 5-3 lead in the sixth inning on a two-run shot by Sanchez, his eighth homer of the season and sixth in the last seven games, and Castros second solo homer, his 17th.Zunino, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on July 20, answered in the bottom half with his ninth home run -- off Anthony Swarzak (1-2) -- to put Seattle ahead 6-5.We had in the report that he was about a 50 percent slider guy, so I went up there and I knew I was going to get that eventually, Zunino said. I ended up seeing only one fastball. Thats where I step out 3-2 and tell myself to commit to hitting the slider and I was able to get one up in the zone and drive it.Cruz added a solo homer, his 32nd, in the eighth.Nick Vincent (3-3) retired all three batters he faced to get the win. Rookie Edwin Diaz survived a shaky ninth, putting runners on second and third with one out before getting Mark Teixeira on a fly ball and Brett Gardner on a grounder to pick up his 10th save in 10 chances.The Mariners, who gave up four runs in the ninth inning in a 7-6 loss to Milwaukee on Sunday when Diaz was rested, remained one game behind Baltimore for the second American League wild card.Robinson Cano singled to open the bottom of the sixth and Seager drew a one-out walk, chasing starter Michael Pineda. Left-hander Tommy Layne relieved and retired lefty-hitting Adam Lind. Right-hander Swarzak came on but gave up the homer into the right-field seats by the righty-hitting Zunino on a 3-2 pitch.Sanchez, honored as AL Player of the Week earlier in the day, had a solo homer in the first and Castro another in the second to give New York a 2-0 lead. Sanchez also had a single in four at-bats to raise his average to .385 and threw out a runner trying to steal second.Its very tough when you can put a couple runs on the board and hit some home runs but you dont win the game, Sanchez said. Unfortunately, it didnt go our way tonight, tomorrow we have to come back and try to win.Seagers three-run homer put Seattle up 3-2 in the fourth. Seth Smith doubled and moved to third on Canos single. Smith was then caught too far down the line on Cruzs high chopper and was tagged out trying to get back to third. Seager got the green light on a 3-0 pitch and hit his 24th homer over the center-field wall.Its the ultimate hitters count, Seager said. If you get into that count and you get the green light, you can be as picky as you want to be. Fortunately for me there, I got a pitch to hit. Theyre hard to come by off of him (Pineda).Mariners right fielder Shawn OMalley, who came on as a defensive replacement in the seventh, had a sensational catch for the second out of that inning, making a long run into foul territory and reaching over the wall to snag Tyler Austins fly ball, hanging on as he tumbled into the seats.SANCHEZ REMAINS RED HOTOver his last seven games, the Yankees rookie catcher is hitting .560 (14-for-25) with six homers, two doubles, nine RBI, four walks and six runs scored.Its been unbelievable what hes done, the way hes swung the bat, the way hes played defense, the job hes done, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. He throws another guy out. Hes been extremely impressive.YANKEES STREAK ENDSNew York had won eight consecutive games at Safeco Field since June 8, 2013, tied for the longest winning streak by any visiting team.

Dallas Mavericks Store . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. LOS ANGELES -- Steve Kerr and Luke Walton remained close friends and daily confidantes after their coaching careers sent them to opposite ends of California this summer.Although theyve enjoyed the chance to spend time together while the Warriors and the Lakers played each other five times in the past 43 days, theyll both be grateful for a little space in this rivalry.Particularly after a game that neither coach enjoyed at all.Kevin Durant had 29 points, nine assists and six rebounds, and Golden State beat injury-depleted Los Angeles for the second time in three days, 109-85 on Friday night.It looked like a Thanksgiving food hangover, Walton said.Stephen Curry scored 24 points and Klay Thompson had 18 in the Warriors 10th consecutive victory. Golden State followed up its 43-point win in Oakland on Wednesday with another comfortable victory in these clubs third regular-season game in three weeks, although Kerr and Walton didnt see much to like about a sloppy post-holiday contest.It was one of the worst basketball games Ive seen in my life, Kerr said. We were awful, and they were awful. The people who bought tickets should get their money back, honestly.It almost got worse for the Warriors: Draymond Green had 12 points and eight rebounds before leaving in the third quarter with a bruised left ankle from a collision with teammate Ian Clark. Green is cautiously confident his injury isnt serious.Jordan Clarkson scored 20 points for the Lakers, who played without injured starters Julius Randle, Nick Young and DAngelo Russell. The Lakers gave up 149 points to Golden State on Wednesday, and they never made it close Friday with three of their top five scorers sidelined.Theyre the best team in the league, Clarkson said.

Walton said he didnt review tape of Wednesdays loss: I told our film guy I would throw him out of our room if he put that game on my laptop.ON A ROLLThe Lakers were the last team to beat the Warriors, notching a 20-point blowout on Nov. 4. Since then, Golden State has found the rhythm necessary to become the powerhouse expected when Durant abandoned Oklahoma City to join up with the two-time defending Western Conference champions in July.Its nice learning lessons in wins, but I think were a better team since the last time we stepped foot in this building, Curry said. Were still trending in the right direction. You dont take anything for granted, but its nice we put together consecutive good performances.INGRAMS ACTIONBrandon Ingram had eight points on 3-for-18 shooting in his second NBA start, getting valuable experience as the Lakers offensive focus in the absence of Russell and Randle, his fellow blue chip youngsters. Ingram, the No. 2 pick in last summers draft, went 1 for 10 in the first half, but kept firing while grabbing nine rebounds.LAKERS HURTINGRussell is out for at least two weeks after missing three of the previous four games with a sore left knee, while Randle missed his second straight game with a hip pointer.
