BOSTON — Luis Severino was strafed for three runs and dispensed 33 pitches in the first inning and was still around in the bottom of the sixth.
This is what the Yankees are reduced to now — moral victories. Because actual victories are going to be downright difficult to produce this weekend at Fenway Park.
So Aaron Boone talked about how proud he was of Severino’s competitiveness to right himself and register 17 outs when the Yankees did not have a long man available to save their ace and with Chance Adams set to make his major league debut Saturday in the most hostile environment and against the majors’ highest-scoring club.
