The Yankees were not finished flexing their muscles on the Mariners.

The Bombers continued with their barrage of home runs, blasting two more out of the park in a 4-3 win Thursday afternoon to complete a three-game sweep of Seattle at Yankee Stadium.

Aaron Judge crushed a two-run shot in the first inning into the right-center field seats — his team-leading 19th of the season — to give the Yankees a quick 2-0 lead. Miguel Andujar extended the lead a few batters later with a two-run, opposite-field jack of his own.

The Yankees totaled eight home runs in the three wins over the Mariners, who entered the series among the hottest teams in baseball, going 24-9 over their last 33 games.

“I think everybody right now is in beast mode,” said Luis Severino, who picked up his 11th win. “Going after everybody. Not looking records or who is the best team, just going after everybody.”

With two more home runs Thursday, the Yankees extend their MLB lead to 122 and have hit multiple HRs in 13 of their last 18 games.

Luis Severino, meanwhile, did not pitch like his dominant self but still tossed 5.2 innings and struck out five. He allowed three runs on eight hits with a walk and a hit batter, which included a two-run home run from Kyle Seager.
