Trent Grisham homered twice and Austin Wells and Anthony Volpe also went deep as the New York Yankees defeated the host Seattle Mariners 11-5 Monday night in a matchup of division leaders.

The game was marred by a gruesome lower left leg injury suffered by Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera in the ninth inning. Cabrera was injured sliding home to score the game's final run and had to be taken off the field in an ambulance.

Aaron Judge was 2-for-3 with a double to raise his major league-best batting average to .414 as the American League East-leading Yankees won for the fifth time in their past six games. Judge also walked twice and had a sacrifice fly.

Julio Rodriguez, Jorge Polanco and Cal Raleigh homered for the AL West-leading Mariners, who lost their season-high fourth in a row.

Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt (1-1) allowed three runs on three hits over six-plus innings. The right-hander walked two and struck out six.

Trailing 2-1, the Yankees took the lead with a six-run fifth off Mariners starter Emerson Hancock (1-2).

Grisham led off the inning with a home run to straightaway center, the first of New York's five consecutive hits. Judge lined a single to left, Ben Rice doubled to right and Paul Goldschmidt lined a run-scoring single to left to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead. Cody Bellinger lined a run-scoring single to right and, an out later, Wells went deep to center to make it 7-2.

Wells added a sacrifice fly in the seventh after singles by Goldschmidt and Volpe.

Randy Arozarena chased Schmidt with a leadoff double in the seventh and scored on Dylan Moore's two-out single to right off Mark Leiter Jr.

Raleigh added a two-run shot to center in the eighth off Tim Hill.

Judge hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth on the play on which Cabrera was injured.

The Mariners took the lead in the first inning as Rodriguez hammered a sweeper to deep left-center.

Grisham tied it with a solo shot to center with one out in the third. The drive went off the glove of a leaping Rodriguez in center field and bounced off the top of the wall before going over.

Polanco gave Seattle a 2-1 lead with his solo homer with one out in the bottom of the inning.

Hancock went five innings and allowed seven runs on eight hits, with four walks and five strikeouts.
