After a couple fun nights (at least on the field), the Yankees were back to their losing ways last night. Luis Severino started against a terrifying team and unsurprising results ensued. The Yankees only scored two runs but Sevy just isn’t even giving them a shot. If their stated purpose is to stay in the pennant race, they sadly can’t keep playing this former Baby Bomber great.
Anyway, it wasn’t a good day for the Yankees even outside of the Bronx. More below.
Toronto Blue Jays (61-50) 7, Boston Red Sox (57-52) 3
If you’re a “glass half-full” person, the Red Sox didn’t put any distance between them and the last-place Yankees (they remain half a game apart).
