NEW YORK — Dustin Ackley and the rest of the Mariners had the same thought as they piled up the hits Wednesday: don't stop.
By the time they were done, everyone was happy to talk about the No. 17.
Seattle snapped its 17-game losing streak with a 9-2 victory over the Yankees, boosted by a season-high 17 hits.
"It seemed like everything was clicking," Ackley said.
Felix Hernandez earned his third straight win in the Bronx, and the Mariners did something they consistently failed to during their skid: They turned an opponent's mistake into a big inning.
Seattle scored five in the seventh, highlighted by Mike Carp's bases-loaded triple after Robinson Cano flubbed a flip to Derek Jeter at second for an error. It added two in the ninth, when Adam Kennedy hit an RBI double that centerfielder Curtis Granderson lost in the sun. Kennedy scored on Carp's single.
"These guys haven't felt good in a long time," manager Eric Wedge said. "We've got a long flight, an off day (today) and this is a real big win for us."
