NEW YORK -- Eduardo Nunez certainly will remember his first big league start. The Yankees' rookie third baseman drove in the go-ahead run with his first career hit in the seventh inning, and the New York bullpen patched together six stellar innings in a 9-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. Relievers Chad Gaudin, Boone Logan (1-0) and David Robertson helped get the ball to Mariano Rivera, who allowed a run in the ninth while getting four outs for his 25th save. Nunez got the start in place of Alex Rodriguez, who missed another game with a lingering left calf injury. Ichiro Suzuki hit a pair of homers and Russell Branyan belted one of the longest ever at the new Yankee Stadium, but it wasn't enough for Seattle.
