Volpe’s Five-Hit Barrage Powers Yankees Past Mariners
Seattle, WA — Anthony Volpe turned T-Mobile Park into his personal showcase on Friday night, delivering a career performance that propelled the New York Yankees to a commanding 10–1 victory over the Seattle Mariners.
Volpe went 5-for-6, driving in multiple runs and homering twice as he anchored an explosive Yankees offense. The 23-year-old shortstop set the tone early, launching a solo home run off Seattle starter Bryce Miller in the first inning. He followed that with an RBI triple in the third, then added an RBI single in the fourth as New York steadily built its lead. His hot night continued in the sixth, when he belted his second solo shot of the game—this time off reliever Brennan Bernardino. Volpe added a single in the seventh before finally being retired on strikes in the ninth, his lone blemish in an otherwise flawless performance.
Volpe’s offensive outburst provided ample cushion for New York’s pitching staff, while also underscoring his growing impact in the lineup. Now batting .230 on the season, he has amassed 69 RBI, scored 100 runs, and clubbed 27 home runs—a testament to his developing power and durability. The Yankees’ victory marked a convincing statement as they continue their push through the late-season schedule, with Volpe emerging once again as one of the club’s key catalysts.
