Going into the second game of the Yankees’ 2022 season, all eyes were on Luis Severino as he made his first start of the year and his first since 2019. While there was some solid stuff to take away from his outing, for the second straight day, the win came courtesy of the large men in the Yankees’ lineup.
Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton both homered on Opening Day, and they saw fit to do so once again on Saturday. Those homers, plus a pretty good day from the pitching in general powered the Yankees to a 4-2 win and a 2-0 start to the season.
