Chisholm homers twice and Schlittler wins MLB debut as Yankees top Mariners 9-6
Jasson Domínguez had three hits, including an RBI single, and Aaron Judge added a two-run double to help the Yankees overcome four Seattle homers. New York has won three straight following its second six-game losing streak since mid-June.
One of the team's top-rated prospects, Schlittler (1-0) was called up from the minors to start in place of
injured Clarke Schmidt.
The 24-year-old right-hander froze big league home run leader Cal Raleigh with a 100 mph fastball for his first strikeout and was charged with three runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Schlittler walked two and struck out seven, ending his outing with another strikeout of Raleigh before leaving to a standing ovation as his parents hugged in the Yankee Stadium stands.
J.P. Crawford and Jorge Polanco each hit a solo homer off Schlittler. Yankees reliever Jonathan Loáisiga gave up a two-run shot to Randy Arozarena on his first pitch and a two-run drive to No. 9 batter Cole Young on his last.
It was the first career homer for Young, who connected on an 0-2 count.
Luke Weaver struck out three in 1 2/3 hitless innings and Devin Williams whiffed two in a perfect ninth for his 13th save.
Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton had consecutive RBI singles off rookie Logan Evans (3-3) before Chisholm capped a three-run first with a run-scoring groundout. Bellinger extended his hitting streak to 14 games.
An error by All-Star center fielder Julio Rodríguez cost Seattle in a three-run sixth.
Key moments
Chisholm hit a solo shot in the third and a two-run drive in the fifth for his seventh career multihomer game, fourth with the Yankees and second this season.
Key stat
Loáisiga has served up six homers in 22 1/3 innings this year. He allowed five homers over 69 2/3 innings from 2022-24.
Up next
All-Star RHP Bryan Woo (8-4, 2.77 ERA) starts the series finale Thursday night for Seattle against RHP Marcus Stroman (1-1, 7.45).

David Peterson proved as Mets lone reliable again when needed most
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free In the past 35 games, the Mets have received just five starts of at least six innings. All of them have been courtesy of David Peterson. The lone reliable and healthy Mets starter all season has been their All-Star lefty, who again provided desperately needed length and excellence in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Reds at Citi Field. Peterson's six innings, in which he allowed one unearned run on four hits and a walk, lowered his ERA to 2.90 and shrunk his home ERA to 1.91 over 10 starts. It was ho-hum for Peterson, and would have been revelatory for any other Mets starter. David Peterson (23) throws a pitch in the first inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field, Sunday, July 20, 2025, in Queens, NY. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Clay Holmes — the owner of the last non-Peterson quality start for the Mets, way back on June 7 — has appeared to tire in his first full season as an MLB starter. Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea are building up on the fly (and slowly, especially in Manaea's case). Frankie Montas has not yet finished six innings in four starts. Because of the starters' inability to pitch deep into games (and often an inability to pitch well in games), the Mets bullpen has been taxed. Entering play Sunday, their relievers had logged the third-most innings (142 ²/₃) in the majors since June 8. During that stretch, the bullpen's 5.68 ERA has been fourth worst in baseball, likely a reflection of overuse taking its toll. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS This has made Peterson invaluable. With the starters around him still stretching out, Peterson acknowledged that it 'crosses your mind' how important distance is. 'I don't necessarily see it as pressure,' said Peterson, who ranks third in the NL in ERA among lefty qualifiers. 'We're obviously trying to go as deep as we can in every game. That's our job and trying to give the team a chance to win.' David Peterson (23) pitches in the first inning when the New York Mets played the Cincinnati Reds Sunday, July 20, 2025 at Citi Field in Queens, NY. Robert Sabo for NY Post Manager Carlos Mendoza added: 'For him to go six there, it was solid.' Particularly because of how it began. Peterson threw 43 pitches in his first two innings, which included the Reds' only run against him — aided by a poor stretch from impromptu first baseman Mark Vientos on the first batter of the game. A ground single from Matt McClain and a hard single up the middle from Elly De La Cruz put the Mets in a hole. But Peterson used a double play to escape further damage.

After surviving, Peterson thrived and faced the minimum from the third through sixth. A bullpen without many trustworthy pieces needed appearances from Huascar Brazobán, Reed Garrett, Edwin Díaz (who stumbled) and Ryne Stanek to snap a three-game losing streak. 'When we have certain guys [in the bullpen] being used,' Peterson said, 'you want to be able to try and get as deep as you can to get it to those guys late in the game.'

Aaron Judge's Latest Homer Links Him With Alex Rodriguez As Yankees Enter Massive Visit To Toronto
New York Yankees' Aaron Judge (99) hits a solo home run against the Atlanta Braves in the first ... More inning of a baseball game, Sunday, July 20, 2025, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/Mike Stewart) Alex Rodriguez and Aaron Judge will always be linked together not for the way they achieved their lofty numbers but the timing of their stints in the last two-plus decades of Yankees history. Rodriguez's final game with the Yankees was Aug. 12, 2016, about two weeks after he turned 41. It was his final game because of a massively declining bat that left him with a .200 batting average. When Rodriguez played his final game in 12 seasons with the Yankees, he finished his eventual time in the Bronx with 351 homers. Those were achieved in 1,509 games, 6,520 plate appearances and 5,557 at-bats. As Rodriguez was being celebrated for his career, Judge was playing in Triple-A and found out he was heading to the Yankees the next afternoon. After a long car ride, Judge homered in his first plate appearance and first at-bat. And other than injury interruptions in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023, he has hardly stopped hitting home runs and his power eventually caught up to Rodriguez's totals. Judge reached 350 homers last Saturday on the same day Matthew Boyd reached double-digit wins for the first time. He matched Rodriguez in his first at-bat Sunday when the Yankees played a clean game and left Atlanta with two wins after a disastrous return from the All-Star break. Judge reached Rodriguez's home run total with the Yankees in his 1,092nd game. He is up to 351 homers in 3,928 at-bats, or once every 11.1 at-bats, compared to Rodriguez hitting a homer once every 15.8 at-bats with the Yankees. If Judge maintains that rate, he would be approaching 500 homers by the time his at-bat total with the Yankees matches Rodriguez, who accumulated those totals in his age 28 through age 40 seasons. Judge matching Rodriguez contributed to one of the neater wins of late for the Yankees, who will return to Toronto with a three-game deficit in the AL East and their pitching lined up in the preferred way. The Yankees are still looking up at Toronto because of recent uneven events. They were 35-20 after sweeping the Angels. After winning seven of 12, they went 30 innings without scoring during a six-game losing streak, followed it up with six wins in 10 games before losing four straight in Toronto as part of a second six-game skid. The Yankees won five straight after the six-game skid fueled by bad pitching and highlighted by Cody Bellinger's defense and his three-homer game but went into the break with two straight sleepy losses where they could do little at the plate off Boyd and Shota the All-Star break provided a four-day break from the discourse about uneven play, the mood did not lighten amongst nervous fans. Around the middle of Friday afternoon as the Yankees returned from four days off during the All-Star break following an uneven first 96 games, news surfaced the pitching plans involved a bullpen game against the Atlanta Braves. While plenty of teams win bullpen games, the word of a bullpen game seemed like a scheduled loss for the Yankees and hours later they trailed by six on the way to a 7-3 loss defined by a young third baseman making a baserunning gaffe between second and third base against Ronald Acuna Jr's sterling arm. A day later after the Mets honored David Wright by retiring his number and then lost to the Reds in a game with a few key mistakes, the Yankees fell behind by five and YES Network cameras caught Will Warren punching the dugout roof in a similar way as Gerrit Cole in Aug. 2022 against the Toronto Blue Jays with the exception being the young pitcher was looking at his hand. Things seemed dire at that point but then the Yankees turned it around highlighted when Trent Grisham's grand slam gave them a 12-9 slugfest win. The clutch win was followed by Judge matching Rodriguez and a nice six innings from Marcus Stroman that essentially reset their relief arms heading into a massive 10 games against Toronto, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay leading into a trade deadline that figures to be eventful to fill the gaps the Yankees did not during the offseason or solve some of the issues the Yankees did not necessarily anticipate going into this season.
