Yankees doing it BIG!!
In nearly a century of storied slugging, the Bronx Bombers had never put on a show quite like this. Nobody had, in fact….The New York Yankees became the first team in major league history to hit three grand slams in a game, with Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Curtis Granderson connecting Thursday in a wet, wild 22-9 romp over the Oakland Athletics.
”I’m surprised it hadn’t been done before with all the great teams and great individual hitters that have come throughout the course of the game,” Granderson said…..With MLB in its 136th year and approaching its 200,000th regular-season game next month, the Yankees knew it was a slammin’ day. Not until they saw a note posted on the video board about the three slams, however, did they realize exactly what they’d achieved…The 22 runs marked the most allowed by the Athletics since 1955, when they were based in Kansas City and lost 29-6 to the Chicago White Sox.

The M’s drop one in the 14th
TORONTO (AP)
A pregame pep talk failed to fix the slumping Seattle Mariners.
Rajai Davis stole two bases before scoring on John McDonald’s sacrifice fly in the 14th inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Seattle 6-5 Tuesday night, extending the Mariners’ losing streak to 10 games.
It is Seattle’s longest slide since a 12-game skid in 2008.
Greg Halman hit a three-run homer and Brendan Ryan added a solo shot for the Mariners, who held a players-only meeting on the field before batting practice, but couldn’t stop their slide.
”It’s definitely frustrating,” Ryan said. ”We come out of the gates the right way: hungry. Then I don’t know, we just kind of fell asleep a bit there. They were making some plays but I think they were hungrier throughout the game.”
Seattle blew a 5-2 lead, stranded 10 and had two runners thrown out on the bases. Chone Figgins was picked off first in the eighth and Mike Carp was caught stealing after a leadoff double in the 11th.
”We made some mistakes on the basepaths that really hurt us,” manager Eric Wedge said.
Davis hit a one-out single off Jamey Wright (2-3) in the 14th and stole second and third before scoring on McDonald’s fly to center.
”I have my most fun on the bases,” Davis said. ”It’s just exciting being in that position with opportunities to help us win a game.”
Seattle’s players huddled in the outfield after emerging from the clubhouse for pregame drills, urging one another not to give up on the season.
”We’re still playing for something here, we’ve still got 70 games left,” Ryan said when asked about the message of the team meeting. ”Crazier things have happened.”
Activated from the disabled list before the game, right-hander Casey Janssen (3-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.
Six relievers combined to work seven scoreless innings as Toronto won for the sixth time in eight games.
Seattle came in hitting just .221, eight points lower than anyone else in baseball and 15 points worse than any other team in the AL. The Mariners had scored only two runs in their previous four games, and just 11 over the course of their nine-game skid, but turned that around against left-hander Brett Cecil.
