Less than a week after a three-game set in Canada, the New York Yankees see their division rivals, the Toronto Blue Jays, for the third time this season, as the two teams begin a quick two-game set in the Bronx tonight.
Luis Severino (2-0, 3.75 ERA, 3.79 FIP) makes his sixth start of the season, his second against the Jays. The young righty got off to a hot start to the year, giving up just 3 runs in his first 18 innings of work. In the sixth inning of his April 26th start, however, things began to get a little off the rails; after not allowing a hit through five, Sevy surrendered three runs in the sixth and allowed the leadoff batter in the seventh to reach.
