With Tanaka Time in full effect, the New York Yankees barely edge out the Seattle Mariners by the final of 4-3 in first game back.
Seattle Mariners slugger Kyle Seager homered twice tonight in Yankee Stadium. No matter though as the New York Yankees came away with the 4-3 victory in the first game back after the 2015 MLB All-Star break.
Alex Rodriguez smacked his 19th home run of the season in the seventh inning which catapulted the Yanks to the 4-3 lead and eventual win.

To A-Rod, the rest he gained during the All-Star break turned out to be very beneficial.
Via Associated Press:
“I’m rested, I’m healthy,” he said.
Masahiro Tanaka allowed three runs and five hits while striking out seven in seven innings pitched. Andrew Miller picked up the save.
