Flashes of lightning beyond the outfield wall were drawing oohs and aahs from the Bronx crowd all night, even after a brief rain delay concluded in the fifth inning.

Giancarlo Stanton and Austin Wells finally provided the thunder to go along with the electrical storm with massive home runs in the sixth as the Yanks downed the Mariners 10-3 for their second straight win following an ugly 6-16 stretch.

Aaron Judge also went deep for the 34th time this season with a solo blast in the seventh, remaining two behind breakout star Cal Raleigh of the Mariners — who ripped a two-run homer in the eighth — for the MLB lead.

Will Warren bounced back from a rocky start last week in Toronto with 5 ²/₃ scoreless innings, allowing four hits, while walking two and striking out four. The Blue Jays had rocked him for eight earned runs on 10 hits in four innings last Wednesday as part of a four-game sweep to take over first place in the AL East.

Four relievers combined to eat up the final 10 outs for the Yanks (50-41), who added Mark Leiter Jr. to the injured list before the game with a stress fracture in his left leg.

All-Star reserve Jazz Chisholm Jr. (1-for-3, walk) also was shifted back to second base from third by Aaron Boone, with veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu essentially benched, the manager acknowledged before the game. Chisholm and Paul Goldschmidt combined for three RBIs in the Yanks’ four-run seventh.

Stanton clocked a three-run shot to right-center off of Seattle starter Logan Gilbert to blow open what had been a 1-0 game entering the sixth, marking his second home run since coming off the injured list on June 16.

Wells added a two-run blast off reliever Casey Legumina later in the inning for a 6-0 lead. It was his third homer in as many games and his 14th of the season, one more than he managed as a rookie in 2024.

Gilbert had retired the first 11 batters he faced through a strikeout of Judge in the fourth, before Cody Bellinger rapped the Yankees’ first hit with a single up the middle with two down in the fourth.

Warren matched zeroes with Gilbert on 57 pitches through the first four, but the Mariners had runners on the corners with two down in the fifth before the umpires called for the grounds crew to cover the infield as the rain worsened.

Warren had kept Raleigh — Seattle’s 36-homer switch-hitting catcher — in the infield in each of his first two trips as part of the early scoreless tie.

J.P. Crawford had opened the game with an infield single that glanced off Warren’s pitching arm, but a single to right by No. 9 hitter Cole Young was the Mariners’ only other hit until Luke Raley and Ben Williamson also singled with the rain starting to come down in the fifth.

The 26-year-old Warren came back out to pitch following the 35-minute delay, and he got out of the inning with one pitch to Crawford, who grounded out to Goldschmidt at first for the third out to maintain the scoreless knot.

Goldschmidt lined a one-out single to left against Gilbert in the bottom half for the Yanks’ second hit, and Wells followed with a walk for their first offensive threat of the night. Goldschmidt crossed the plate on Oswald Peraza’s infield single to the right side for the game’s first run.

Warren issued a pair of walks in the sixth and was lifted with two outs, before lefty reliever Tim Hill retired pinch hitter Donovan Solano to preserve the one-run cushion.
