Another series win in the books. The Yankees picked up a 4-1 win over the thoroughly nonthreatening Rays on Saturday afternoon to improve to 14-1-2 in their last 17 series. That is: Good.
Sevy Strong
The first few innings Saturday were a bit uncharacteristic for Luis Severino, who didn’t locate all that well and had to pitch around baserunners in the first and second innings. Something seemed to click around the third or fourth inning though, and Severino cruised the rest of the way. He retired 19 of the final 21 batters and he faced and only four of those 21 batters hit the ball out of the infield.
