Pineda hurt by Cano's 2 homers in Yankees' loss to Seattle

Pineda gave up three of his six hits to Cano, and two of those were two-run homers Saturday as the Seattle Mariners beat the New York Yankees 4-3.

Pineda (9-6) took a shutout into the seventh against his former team in his first start against Seattle on June 2, but he had difficulty throwing throw strikes this time.

McCann hit a tying two-out, two-run shot off Hisashi Iwakuma (2-1) in the fourth, just one of two flyballs off the Japanese right-hander in 5 2-3 innings.

The second baseman responded to hearty first-inning boos with a blast off Pineda (9-6) over the center field wall with Kyle Seager aboard, helping the Mariners end a seven-game skid against New York.

Cano singled between his long balls and grounded out with a shot for his first three-homer game.

Iwakuma allowed five hits and two runs without a walk and five strikeouts in his third start since coming off the disabled list.

Mariners: LHP Charlie Furbush (biceps tendinitis) was feeling discomfort in his throwing arm so the team slowed the steady reliever's progress in his throwing program.
