PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Starting pitchers Luis Severino (Yankees) and Matt Moore (Rays) showcased midseason form on Saturday, and center fielder Johnny Field broke a scoreless tie with a two-run double in the fifth to spark Tampa Bay to a 2-1 victory over New York at Charlotte Sports Park.
Making his second start of the spring, Severino boasted a high-90s fastball and solid command, limiting the Rays to four hits (three singles and a Logan Forsythe double) while striking out four and walking none over 3 2/3 innings. The 22-year-old right-hander threw first-pitch strikes to 11 of the 16 batters he faced while finding the strike zone on 43 of 59 pitches overall.
