Luis Severino mows down Red Sox to stay in wild-card conversation

Modal Trigger

Luis Severino, who allowed just one run, celebrates after striking out Mookie Betts in the seventh inning of the Yankees' 10-1 blowout win over the rival Red Sox Wednesday.

With the AL wild-card game looming, the Yankees have discussed who would start that night against the A’s.

J.A. Happ and Masahiro Tanaka have earned the right to be in the conversation and are considered the favorites.

After an extended stretch of ineffectiveness, former staff ace Luis Severino can’t be ignored, especially after muzzling the Red Sox on Wednesday night, when the Yankees punished the best team in baseball, 10-1, in front of a Yankee Stadium crowd of 43,297.
