Grading Luis Severino’s first MLB start in seven months

Related Topics: Luis Severino, Kevin Newman

After nearly seven months, Luis Severino made his triumphant return to an MLB mound. He may not have gotten the decision, but his impressive efforts put the Yankees in prime position to wrap up the win over the Reds for their second sweep of the season. He was on a strict 75 pitch limit, but boy did he flash some encouraging signs in that sample of pitches.

Just to return to a big league mound from his second lat injury in as many seasons is progress in and of itself, but to dominate a major league lineup for stretches in the manner Severino did is beyond what any of us could have hoped for.
