NEW YORK — The lightning didn’t just come from the sky. It came from the bats of Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and Austin Wells, as the Yankees roared to a 10–3 victory over the Seattle Mariners — a game drenched in rain, fire and tears of relief!

Yankee Stadium shook as Stanton’s three-run home run ripped through Seattle’s defense after a 35-minute rain delay. It was a defining moment — when the real storm came from the Bronx Bombers, not the overcast sky.
“We didn’t just hit the ball. We hit the heart,” Stanton snarled in the locker room after the game.
The Sleeping Giants Strike Back
While the Mariners were still getting used to the wet field, Aaron Judge hit his 34th homer of the season—taking him into the MLB lead. Then Austin Wells sent the crowd into a frenzy with his third home run in three straight games. Three bangs. Three declarations.
Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt each had three hits, ripping apart Seattle’s defensive plans. From top to bottom of the lineup, the Yankees were freed from a long, skeptical slide.
Rain poured—then the Yankees exploded
Before the intermission, the Mariners’ Logan Gilbert was pitching like a god. But the rain—a 35-minute interruption—seemed to have disrupted the entire Seattle lineup’s mental rhythm. When it returned, the Yankees charged like a starved beast.
“We vowed we wouldn’t let the rain take away this opportunity,” Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren said after completing 5⅔ clean innings.
With the win, the Yankees temporarily snapped a painful 6-16 slump. From the stands to the locker room, the energy was back. Yankee Stadium witnessed more than a win — it witnessed a revival.
Everyone understood: that rainy night was more than just a win. It was a declaration of war: the Bronx Bombers were back. And this time, they didn’t come to play — they came to finish.
