Final Score: Seattle 2 - NY Yankees 13

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Shelley Duncan belted a three-run homer, and Robinson Cano finished 2-for-4 and drove in three runs as New York trounced Seattle, 13-2, in the opener of a three-game set at Yankee Stadium.

Bobby Abreu, Hideki Matsui and Chad Moeller added two RBI apiece for the Yankees, who won their third straight game after dropping the previous four. Jason Giambi went 2-for-3 with three runs scored for New York.

Andy Pettitte (4-5) allowed just two runs on eight hits in six innings. The veteran left-hander, who did not walk a batter and fanned nine in the game, halted a personal four-game losing streak.

"I feel like I could get everything over (the plate) when I wanted too," said Pettitte. "I moved everything in-and-out. I've had a little bad luck so it's nice I didn't walk anybody and was able to do the things I wanted."

Adrian Beltre was 3-for-3 with an RBI double for the reeling Mariners, who have lost four straight and remain in the basement of the AL West. Yuniesky Betancourt also had an RBI for Seattle.

Erik Bedard (3-3) was touched for nine runs on eight hits in just 4 1/3 innings of work en route to the loss.

"I was trying to make good pitches and I think I did," Bedard said. "They just hit good pitches. You can't do anything about it."

The Yankees were without their manager Joe Girardi, who was suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed amount for his inappropriate actions that included kicking dirt on umpire Chris Guccione, in the ninth inning of the Yankees' 2-1 win over Baltimore on Thursday.

Meanwhile, M's skipper John McLaren quickly joined Girardi in the clubhouse after the top of the second inning. McLaren was tossed by plate umpire Mike DiMuro for complaining after DiMuro called Ichiro Suzuki out on strikes to end the frame.

Trailing by a run in the second, the Yankees bounced back thanks to Duncan's three-run bomb. Matsui singled up the middle and moved to second when Giambi walked before Duncan crushed a Bedard curve ball over the wall in left for his first home run of the season.

"I can't really apeak for Bedard but he's tough," Duncan said. "He's filthy. Everything he throws is tough to hit so it feels pretty good."

Seattle got a run back in the third when Jose Vidro laced a one-out single before Beltre ripped a two-out double over the head of Matsui in left to make it a 3-2 game.

The Yankees responded with two more runs in the fourth. Matsui led off with a single and quickly went to third on Giambi's double. After Duncan popped out to short center, Cano sliced a two-run double to left.

New York put things away when they batted around en route to an eight-run fifth. After Bedard plunked Derek Jeter, Abreu chased the shortstop to third with a base hit. Alex Rodriguez followed by hitting a ground ball to third and Beltre was able to get Jeter going for home, but not before the All-Star stayed in a rundown long enough to enable Abreu to advance to third and Rodriguez to second. Matsui then lofted a soft single to center to score both runners.

Giambi chased Bedard from the game with a single to center and, after Sean Green fanned Duncan, Cano sliced an RBI single the opposite way. Moeller was next and he was able to lift a soft two-run single to center giving the Yankees a comfortable 10-2 cushion.

Things didn't end there, however. Melky Cabrera singled and Jeter walked before Abreu knocked a two-run single to left. The M's made another pitching change at that point, mercifully lifting Green for R.A. Dickey, but Rodriguez greeted him by finally capping the frame with an RBI single up the middle.

The Mariners jumped on top with a run in the second. Beltre opened the inning with a single, advanced to second on Wladimir Balentien's one-out single up the middle and scored when Betancourt came through with a two-out, run-scoring single to left.
