On Saturday afternoon, the Yankees’ offense brought the bats, Luis Severino brought the mound excellence, and the weather brought the rain. All combined to yield a 10-0 Yankees win over the Braves in a six-inning ballgame.
The most important part of today was ensuring that Severino got through his final spring start healthy after missing his last scheduled outing on Wednesday due to some soreness. Simply put, he was electric, hardly making any mistakes as he dazzled the Braves’ lineup through four shutout innings of one-hit ball, striking out three batters and walking none. Severino’s fastball sat between 95-98 mph for the vast majority of his day, and he spun some pretty nasty secondaries.
