After allowing 18 runs in the first two games of the American League Division Series, the Minnesota Twins finally figured out how to slow down the New York Yankees offense.
Unfortunately for the Twin Cities, the Yankee pitchers did their best impressions of Harry Houdini on the mound. Luis Severino didn’t have his best stuff for most of his four scoreless innings.
After loading the bases with no outs in the second inning, Severino proceeded to overpower three straight hitters with devastating sliders. The righty hurler was touch-and-go all night long.
But four scoreless innings were all the Yankees needed and he left the game with a lead courtesy of Gleyber Torres‘ first career postseason home run.
