While scouts were shocked at the wilting Yankees lineup Tuesday night, they were impressed with Luis Severino.
In his second big league start, the 21-year-old right-hander limited the Indians to two runs and seven hits in six innings of what turned into a 5-4 loss in 16 innings.
“He looked pretty good,’’ a scout said. “I wasn’t expecting that many sliders, and he threw some changeups. I like him. He has a shot at being in a playoff rotation. He maintained the velocity and controlled the damage early in the game when it could have gotten out of hand.
