The Yankees beat the Mariners 6-2 on Saturday afternoon as Phil Hughes won consecutive starts for the first time this season. "He did a good job," manager Joe Girardi said of Hughes. "We're going to need innings out of our rotation." Andy Pettitte is making his return to New York's rotation on Sunday, but the team's starting pitchers appear to have righted themselves. Over the five games of this homestand, Yankees starters are 4-0 with a 1.31 ERA, 27 strikeouts and 11 walks. "It's been a process overall to get myself right," Hughes said. "As far as a turning point, it's hard to get worse than the beginning of the year." Hughes allowed six hits and a run in 7 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and a walk against Seattle.
