The Yankees suffered their first loss of the season on Monday night, as they were walked off by the Mariners.

The Yankees were walked off by the Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Monday night at T-Mobile Park. Here are some takeaways... -- Ryan Weathers endured a bit of an up-and-down Yankee debut.

The young lefty worked around a leadoff walk in the bottom of the first, but Seattle made him pay for putting a pair on in the second, scratching across the first run of the game on a Cole Young two out RBI single. Weathers retired the next seven batters he faced before allowing back-to-back knocks leading off the fifth. He forced a groundout then was pulled, turning things over to righty Fernando Cruz , who bailed him out with a pair of huge punchouts to keep it a one-run ballgame.

Weathers closed his line allowing just the one run on four hits, two walks, and seven strikeouts in 4. 1 innings. -- Unfortunately for him, the Yankees' offense couldn't get much of anything going against Luis Castillo .

Their lone two hits against the righty in six innings were erased on the bases, as Giancarlo Stanton was gunned down trying to stretch a single into a double and Jose Caballero was picked off first after singling in the fifth. Castillo allowed just those two hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven over his six scoreless frames. -- New York was finally able to create some traffic with Castillo out of the game.
