Pinch-hitter Nix delivers in Yankees 5-2 win

Published November 20, 2014

Pinch-hitter Jayson Nix lined a three-run double off Seattle reliever Shawn Kelley in the eighth inning, and the New York Yankees rallied for a 5-2 win over the Mariners on Wednesday to complete a 2-5 West Coast trip.

After failing to come through with runners in scoring position earlier in the game, Nix finally produced a clutch hit. Kelley left a 2-2 pitch over the middle of the plate and Nix's liner scored Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira. It was Nix's first hit in eight at-bats during the Yankees' trip.

Jeter also homered in the first inning, his eighth of the season, off Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma.
