After an ugly loss in the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader, the Yankees were looking to get back to their winning ways in front of the ESPN viewing crowd. While Luis Severino did his part with seven scoreless innings, Michael Kopech was perfect for 5.2 innings on his way to matching that length, and the Yankee bullpen blew the tie in disappointing fashion. The Chicago White Sox were able to complete their doubleheader sweep and series victory, punctuated by a Tim Anderson home run. It was the Yankees’ first series loss since Easter.
Severino was coming off a very strong outing against the Baltimore Orioles.
