Severino Debuts in 2-1 Loss to Red Sox

By -
Luis Severino finally made his debut against the Red Sox in a game that we have all anxiously been waiting for. Steven Wright started on the mound for the Red Sox. It looked to be an easy win the way the Yankees offense has been lately, and with Severino on the mound.

Severino started the game off good putting the Red Sox down 1-2-3 in the top of the first inning. The Yankees also didn't score in the first.

The second inning began with 2 straight outs, Hanley Ramirez popping out, and Pablo Sandoval grounding out. Severino got Mike Napoli to hit a ground ball to Chase Headley, but he threw the ball over the head of Mark Teixeira which allowed Napoli to advance to second. De Aza then doubled off of Severino to score Napoli and put the Red Sox up 1-0.

There was no more action in the game until the top of the 4th. Luis Severino got behind in the count and threw a fastball down the middle to David Ortiz which ended up a home run, his first given up in his career. This made the game 2-0.

The Yankees picked up their first hit in the bottom of the 5th. Their offense struggled off of Wright much more than they should have. Didi Gregorius singled, and John Ryan Murphy singled, but that was all they could do that inning.

Adam Warren came in to pitch for the 6th inning, leaving Severino's line at 5 innings pitched, 2 hits, 1 earned run, 2 runs, no walks, and 7 strikeouts. He was the first pitcher in AL history to have 7 K's, no walks, and 2 hits or fewer in his debut.

The Yankees didn't score until the bottom of the 7th inning. Carlos Beltran led the inning off with a solo home run. This put the Yankees down 2-1, but it would be their only run of the game.
Adam Warren threw for 3 innings, and Chasen Shreve threw for 1, both not allowing and more runs. Both of them also only allowed 1 hit.

The Yankees would lose 2-1 and Luis Severino would get the loss in his debut. Chase Headley's error in the second inning proved to be very costly in this one.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
