Yesterday was another clunker of a start for Yankees’ ace Luis Severino, making it two disaster starts in a row, following a not so great one against Cleveland and a meh-at-best one against the Blue Jays. On the plus side, he only gave up one home run against the Royals yesterday, after surrendering at two apiece in his last three starts prior. Another plus? He’s mostly kept the walks down while maintaining a high strikeout rate–except against Cleveland. Regardless, his performance in July was nothing like his performance in April through June, so what gives? The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind that Severino’s pitches aren’t generating lately.
