Luis Severino got the Yankees in trouble Monday night.
Lance Lynn finished them off.
Brought in with the bases loaded and no one out in the top of the fourth and the Yankees trailing by three runs, Lynn wasted no time in torching any chance they had of mounting a comeback against the Red Sox in a 16-1 Game 3 loss that gave Boston a 2-1 lead in the ALDS — and left the Yankees one defeat from elimination.
After Severino came out for the top of the fourth, despite getting battered for much of the first three innings, the right-hander gave up two singles and a walk before Aaron Boone finally pulled him in favor of Lynn.
