Pedro Severino connected for his first home run of the 2018 campaign during the July 3rd game with the Boston Red Sox, hitting a 1-0 fastball from right-hander Heath Hembree out to center in Nationals Park. He talked after the game about starting to feel better about his swing, and starting to see things better at the plate.
“The day before I didn’t get hits,” Severino said, “... but I got good swings on the ball, so I’m just starting to feel better and starting to see the ball good.”
He was just 4 for 35 in the last 13 games heading into last night’s matchup with the Miami Marlins, though three of the hits were extra base knocks, with two doubles (his 8th and 9th of the season) and the home run.
