The Yankees were nearly no-hit by underperforming former ace Lucas Giolito in their last game, so it was fair to wonder whether Lance Lynn—who similarly hasn’t looked like himself over the past year and change—would also receive a lifeline in the Bronx sans Aaron Judge.
That didn’t happen, but Luis Severino helped him out by providing a spark for a White Sox offense that ranked 26th in the majors in wRC+ coming into the game. After a clunker his last time out, and renewed injury concerns amidst a downturn in velocity, Severino didn’t do much to quell those worries.
