OAKLAND -- The next time the Yankees and A's battle, it'll likely be in the do-or-die American League Wild Card Game. For so long, it's been figured that Luis Severino would start on the mound for the Yankees, with Gary Sanchez behind the plate.
After Wednesday's display of awfulness, maybe they should both watch from the bench.
Two wild pitches and two passed balls combined for a brutal first inning in a 8-2 loss at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
Severino was pummeled in what was his shortest start of the season and a continuation of his awful second half.
