Severino sharp in debut but Yankees bats falter in a 2-1 lost to the Red Sox

So we’ve been looking forward to this game for a while. Luis Severino showed a lot of the promise that he’s shown in minors with five solid innings in the books. However, the offense was mostly silent against the knuckleballer Steven Wright and the Yankees’ ninth inning rally didn’t come to much fruition – the result was a tough 2-1 loss to the Red Sox.

On his first ML pitch ever, Severino caught the inside corner with a 94 mph fastball against Brock Holt. He later induced a grounder to first from Holt.
