The Yankees offense needs to pick it up and fast. They’ve now scored just two runs across the last 20 innings — ever since that nightmare seventh inning against the Orioles. It’s well past time to shake off the shock of that frame and get back to winning ways.
Luis Severino flashed signs of dominance for stretches in his first start of the season, a 4-1 victory to sweep the Reds. He dialed his fastball all the way up to 99 mph while displaying impressive command of the pitch. He also gave us glimpses of a filthy changeup that looks like it could be a weapon against both righties and lefties.
