TORONTO -- Yankees ace Luis Severino wasn't happy about leaving Saturday's 8-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays after five innings even though his pitch count was up to 97 and his club was ahead four runs.
Told he was done on a day his stuff wasn't sharp, Severino campaigned to manager Aaron Boone to go back out for the sixth.
"I told him, 'Give me at least 10 more pitches,'" Severino said. "(Friday) was a bad day for the bullpen, so I wanted to give it a little bit of rest.
