After going hitless for seven innings against Seattle starter Bryan Woo, the Bronx Bombers erupted late to shock the Seattle Mariners and complete a three-game sweep at Yankee Stadium. Stanton, who launched a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth to spark the comeback, delivered a loud postgame message.

“No lead is safe.”

That quote, shared by Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News in an article he posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, quickly gained traction across social media following the Yankees’ dramatic 6-5 walk-off win. Stanton’s pinch-hit blast wasn’t just timely — it was the first of his career and came with the Yankees trailing late. Entering the game just 5-for-48 in pinch-hit situations, the veteran slugger delivered when it mattered most.

Down 5-0 entering the eighth, it was Austin Wells who first broke through with a sacrifice fly to get the Yankees on the board. Stanton followed with his blast, trimming the lead to 5-3. After the game, Wells reflected on the team’s resilience with Phillips.

“It was a lot of fun. It was probably one of the better wins we’ve had.”

Wells later came through in the ninth inning with a two-out, two-run single to tie the game against Mariners All-Star closer Andres Munoz—who was reportedly tipping his pitches. The momentum shift was real, and the Bronx crowd felt it building.

In the 10th inning, Aaron Judge stepped to the plate with one out and Anthony Volpe on third. Judge delivered a shallow sacrifice fly that scored Volpe on a stunning head-first slide. The dramatic walk-off gave the Yankees their fourth straight win and renewed energy heading into the All-Star break.

With the sweep of the Mariners in the rearview, the Yankees now turn their attention to a pivotal series against the Chicago Cubs to close out the first half. With Carlos Rod0n, Will Warren, and Max Fried lined up to start, New York enters the weekend riding a wave of momentum at just the right time.
