Severino dominates again, Yankees win 4-1

By -
Seeking their third straight win and yet another series win, the Yankees sent their ace out to the mound this afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays.  Sevy was dominant again in this one, going eight scoreless innings, allowing just three hits while adding nine strikeouts.  His eight scoreless frames lowered his season ERA to 2.09, second best in the AL behind only Justin Verlander.

The Yankees got on the board in the bottom of the second courtesy of an RBI double from rookie phenom Gleyber Torres and added their second run when Didi Gregorius drove in Aaron Judge, who had led off the inning with a double, in the bottom of the third with a single.  The Yankees eventually loaded the bases in the third and threated to bust the game open early but would not add another run in the frame. 

Back-to-back solo home runs in the fifth from Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez concluded the scoring for the Yankees in this one, but the four runs were all they'd need behind the dominant Severino.  Chasen Shreve came in to pitch the ninth and had absolutely nothing working, surrendering a lead-off HR to Matt Duffy and then a triple to Jake Bauers. Aroldis Chapman was called on to lock the game down, and he did just that, recording his 20th save, retiring the three batters he faced in order.  With the win, New York improves to 46-20 and Tampa Bay falls to 32-38.

Winning Pitcher: Luis Severino (10-2, 2.09): 8.0 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 0 R, 9 K
Losing Pitcher: Ryan Yarbrough (5-3, 4.21): 3.2 IP, 6 H, 3 BB, 4 R, 4 K, 2 HR
Save: Aroldis Chapman (20)

What's Next: 
The Yankees will look to sweep this four-game set tomorrow before heading to Washington on Monday to complete the two-game series that was rained out last month.  CC Sabathia will get the ball for New York and the Rays will go with another bullpen day, with the "Opener" still to be announced.  First pitch is at 2:05 following the Old Timer's Day festivities.

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
