The Yankees were completely helpless against Indians starter Trevor Bauer in the series opener, but they wasted no time in turning the tables tonight. The Bombers erupted for four runs in the second inning, driving Bauer from the game before he could record six outs.
Luis Severino showed no signs of the nervousness that caused his poor outing in the Wild Card Game. He retired the side in order in the first inning, and kept the Indians off the board until the fourth. Severino wasn't perfect tonight, but he didn't need to be.
