Betreff	one-on-one coverage against John Johns

---

In their first road test against baseball’s top team Ivan Provorov Jersey , the upstart Seattle Mariners were no match for the Yankees‘ pitching and power.

Domingo German tossed two-hit ball over a career-high seven innings and Giancarlo Stanton hit one of New York’s four home runs Tuesday night in a 7-2 victory against the Mariners.

”A lot of fun,” Stanton said. ”We were clicking on all cylinders.”

Miguel Andujar and Aaron Hicks each belted a two-run shot off Marco Gonzales in the fifth. Hicks homered for the third straight day and finished with three hits from the leadoff spot as the Yankees (48-22) moved a season-best 26 games above .500.

Coming off a four-hit game, Stanton sent a solo drive to straightaway center field in the first. Aaron Judge had an RBI single in the seventh, and rookie phenom Gleyber Torres added his 14th home run in the eighth.

The first two batters reached against German (2-4) on a double and an error. The rookie right-hander then retired 19 in a row until Nelson Cruz homered in the seventh.

”Dominating, man. Just pounding the zone, blowing it by guys and just showing what he can do,” Stanton said.

After beating Tampa Bay for his first major league win last week, German was impressive once again. Featuring a sharp breaking ball Authentic T.Y. Hilton Jersey , he struck out nine and walked none while throwing 67 of 96 pitches for strikes.

”I even kicked around sending him back out there for the eighth because he was just so efficient,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. ”He’s really talented.”

German has 28 strikeouts in his last three starts, a span of 19 innings.

”He was throwing everything. Changeup, curveball – he was commanding everything,” Cruz said. ”He kept us off balance. It seems like we were late with fastballs, early with breaking pitches. It was his day.”

A.J. Cole worked two perfect innings to complete a crisp game that took just 2 hours, 28 minutes. New York has won 15 of 19 overall.

One of baseball’s biggest surprises so far, the Mariners (46-27) lost for only the eighth time in 30 games as they opened a 10-game trip to the East Coast that could serve as an early summer measuring stick. Three games at Yankee Stadium will be followed by three in Boston – the top two teams in the majors.

”We’re going to play our game. Things didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to Womens Mitchell Trubisky Jersey ,” Cruz said. ”We’ll come back positive tomorrow and try to make things better.”

Gonzales (7-4) entered 4-0 with 1.41 ERA in his past six starts but wasn’t up to the task in his first career outing against the Yankees. The left-hander gave up eight hits and a career-high six runs over 6 1/3 innings in his first loss since May 12 at Detroit.

”They’re a good hitting team. I think they had the right game plan tonight. Just sitting off speed, kind of out front,” Gonzales said. ”They got me early in the count and I think kudos to them on their approach.”

The three home runs off Gonzales matched a career high and raised his season total to nine.

”It’s a short porch. It’s a boom box in here,” he said. ”I am going to learn from it and get better. What an experience for me. … I think I was very excited and obviously living out a childhood dream of being able to pitch here.”

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Losing didn’t get any easier for Jon Gruden in his nine seasons away from coaching.

Gruden’s much-anticipated return from the broadcast booth to the sideline for Oakland ended in disappointment as the Raiders were outclassed in a 33-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. The performance showed how far the Raiders have to go to get back to the level they were at when Gruden ended his first stint here more than 16 years ago.

“They feel the same. It stinks,” Gruden said Tuesday of losing. “It’s not very fun. We have work to do. It’s obvious. We have work to do. We’re going to build this football team back. It might not happen tonight. We’re going to keep laying bricks. We have a great group of guys and we’ll be ready for the next battle.”

Gruden’s return to the Raiders got off to a fast start with a 75-yard drive capped by Marshawn Lynch’s 10-yard touchdown run on the opening possession.

The Raiders were then held to two field goals the rest of the way thanks to three interceptions by Derek Carr, a lack of a consistent run game and the inability to get the ball to receivers Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson on the outside.

The defense wilted in the second half as Todd Gurley took over the game and Jared Goff used play action to find holes to throw downfield. The Raiders struggled to generate any kind of pass rush just over a week after trading star edge rusher Khalil Mack with rookies Arden Key, P.J. Hall and Maurice Hurst failing to make big impacts.

“They have to keep improving,” Gruden said. “They have to keep seeing schemes. Keep their pad level down. Using their hands better. Just improving. We have to get Arden Key some better looks. When they run all those jet sweeps Womens Jaroslav Halak Jersey , there’s a lot of eye candy out there. It’s tough.”

Carr said after the game that this loss felt different than past ones because of how positive Gruden was after the game to the team.

Gruden said it felt just like any other loss and he’s trying to avoid that same feeling this week when Oakland travels to Denver (1-0).

“Losses all feel painful,” he said. “Especially Monday night losses when you have to get up and get ready for a team like Denver. Put a lot into it. We put a lot of time into this. I thought he was on his way in the first half. He was 20 for 24, I read, doing some really good things. … I don’t have any doubts that Derek Carr is going to be great and I can’t wait to get started and get ready for the Broncos.”

There were a few positives to take from the game, including Jared Cook catching nine passes for 180 yards to set a franchise record for a tight end; solid play from the tackles in rookie Kolton Miller’s first career game and Donald Penn’s first career start at right tackle; and running back Jalen Richard providing a good receiving threat out of the backfield with nine catches for 55 yards.

While Cook was Oakland’s best player in the opener, two of Carr’s three interceptions came on passes to the tight end. The first came in the end zone in the first half when Cook had one-on-one coverage against John Johnson but Carr underthrew the pass.

The second came on a miscommunication in the fourth quarter that led to Marcus Peters’ 50-yard interception return for a TD.

“There was some confusion,” Gruden said. “Derek thought Jared was going to stay on the move and Jared sat down. That goes on me. That’s coaching. We have to do a better job of defining our routes at times.”

NOTES: The Raiders brought in long snappers for tryouts after losing Andrew DePaola to a significant knee injury in the opener. … Lynch played only 27 of 74 snaps on offense in part because of an illness and also because Richard provided better matchups as a receiver. … DTs P.J. Hall and Justin Ellis were limited by ankle injuries. Gruden did not know the severity of either injury.
