NEW YORK – Felix Hernandez dominated the Yankees in their own ballpark again, pitching his third shutout of the season to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 1-0 win on a sunny, sticky Saturday afternoon.

Hernandez outpitched Hiroki Kuroda in a duel of pitchers who haven’t lost since June. Mike Carp hit an RBI single in the second inning for Seattle, which bounced back from having its seven-game winning streak ended Friday night. The Yankees have lost 10 of 15.

Hernandez (10-5) just didn’t give the Yankees any room. After Robinson Cano doubled with two outs in the first, Hernandez didn’t allow a runner to second.

He began the ninth against the top of the order and retired Curtis Granderson, Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano, fanning Cano to end the game in just 2 hours, 32 minutes.

JAYS 3, ATHLETICS 1: David Cooper hit a tying homer in the ninth inning and Edwin Encarnacion scored on catcher George Kottaras’ throwing error in the 11th at Oakland.

The Blue Jays ended a six-game losing streak.

CARDINALS 6, BREWERS 1: Adam Wainwright pitched a five-hitter and also contributed with a double and a single, leading the Cardinals at St. Louis.

Mark Rogers of Orrs Island took his first major league loss, but the rookie showed the Brewers something in the process.

Rogers was in trouble in the third — he had already faced nine batters and allowed six hits and four runs in the inning, but avoided further damage by striking out Daniel Descalso.

After that, Rogers (0-1) retired six straight before leaving for a pinch hitter in the sixth. He gave up five runs on seven hits.
