Corey Seager hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run sixth inning as the visiting Texas Rangers capitalized on Gerrit Cole’s departure and beat the New York Yankees 9-4 to salvage the second game of a doubleheader Saturday.

New York won the opener 8-0 behind four RBIs from Austin Wells, but the latter game turned significantly for the Rangers after Cole was lifted following the first out of the sixth inning at 90 pitches with the score tied 1-1.

In the span of about six and a half hours, the Yankees showed flashes of the peak of their powers, a team that could out-talent others all the way to the World Series.

And flashes of what could go wrong along the way for a club that still has holes.

An 8-0 win backed by Austin Wells, Aaron Judge and Carlos Rodon, followed by an ugly 9-4 loss to the Rangers that included a five-run, sixth-inning implosion, amounted to a doubleheader split in front of 41,996 in The Bronx for the Yankees (69-49), who have won nine of 13 and generally righted themselves after a lengthy malaise.

The Mets were shut out for the second straight night in Seattle, recording just four hits in a 4-0 loss to the Mariners. It’s the first time NY has been shut out in back-to-back games this season.

New York (61-56) began the day 0.5 games ahead of Atlanta for the final Wild Card spot, but the Braves snapped their six-game losing streak and are now 0.5 games up on the Mets.

New York’s bats struggled against Mariners starter Logan Gilbert all night long. Francisco Lindor opened the game with a single, but Gilbert then retired the next eight straight Mets through the third.

Gilbert made it nine in a row when Lindor lined out to open the fourth before Brandon Nimmo walked to give NY their second baserunner of the night. J.D. Martinez and Pete Alonso couldn’t make anything happen and the Mets’ scoreless stretch continued.
