SEATTLE (AP) - Robinson Cano hit a three-run double, Mark Teixeira and Chris Dickerson homered and the New York Yankees rolled past Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners 9-3 Monday night.

Phil Hughes pitched six strong innings to help New York increase its AL East lead to a season-high four games over idle Boston. With the one-sided victory, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera didn't need to leave the bullpen for a chance at his 600th save.

The Yankees did most of their damage against Hernandez (14-12), last year's AL Cy Young Award winner.

Hernandez retired his first six batters, three on strikeouts, but Brett Gardner opened the third with a sharp single to left. Dickerson followed with a hard single through the right side.

Ichiro Suzuki delivered an RBI single, which is career hit No. 2,413. He needs two more to tie Yankees great Mickey Mantle on the career list.

The Yankees roughed up Hernandez in the fourth for five runs beginning with Teixeira's solo homer on an 0-1 pitch. It was his 37th, third most in the league. It also was his fifth off Hernandez, more than any other batter.

Cano, who had three hits, doubled into the right-field corner and Nick Swisher singled, with Cano stopping at third. Eric Chavez followed with a sacrifice fly.

Gardner sliced a double into the left-field corner, scoring Swisher. Dickerson then hit the first pitch for his first home run as a Yankee and a 6-1 lead.

Hernandez worked six innings, giving up nine hits and six runs - one fewer than his season high. He struck out four with no walks.

Hughes, who had not won since Aug. 19, allowed one run and five hits. He walked three and struck out three.

His most difficult inning was the sixth, his final one. Seager opened with a double and Dustin Ackley reached on an infield single. Mike Carp then lined out to shortstop, but Justin Smoak walked to load the bases.

Hughes got Miguel Olivo to pop out softly to shortstop and Trayvon Robinson lined out to center.
