New York’s pitchers managed to hold the high-powered Rangers offense in check through nine innings last night, so they certainly have a roadmap to success for this afternoon’s game. That starts with a strong outing from Luis Severino, something that’s been hard to come by in the month of June.
Hopefully, Severino was taking notes during his last start against Boston — despite giving up four runs, it represented a step in the right direction following three nightmare outings. He managed to keep the ball in the park after serving up eight home runs in his previous four starts, but the walks continue to do him no favors.
