Severino, who imagines himself to be the best batter among the Yankees' pitchers, scoffed at Betance earlier on Tuesday and then managed the bat with skill in the match. He raised a ball right in his first batting and then, having been unable to advance Romine – who had opened the fourth inning with a double – with a rifle, took an abbreviated hack but without flinching after having showed decay.
Severino made a mistake on the pitch, pulling oohs from the crowd and more laughter from the dugout, and on the next pitch, Phillies' ace Jake Arrieta bounced a curve backwards which led to the artistic slide of Romine.
Although Severino retired, he had a hand – at least to a small extent – by advancing Romine, who scored from the third on a deep Hicks ball.
Didi Gregorius followed with a solo circuit in the left-hand bleachers that led the fifth to the advantage of the Yankees at 6-0, which was the last indignity endured by Arrieta, who has been pedestrian since a scintillating April.
The injuries would not have been so severe if Hernandez had not made a flop wandering to stop Mike Kingery, who had let him down while he was out. He was preparing for a double 6-3 that would have finished the third round with the Yankees leading 1-0.
Instead, the basics have been loaded with an output. Arrieta eliminated Giancarlo Stanton, but Gleyber Torres doubled a Franco-diver in two innings and Greg Bird followed with a single left to bring another round, only his sixth inning was beaten.
The first emphatic advance allowed Severino, who improved to 12-2, to settle down. He allowed six hits and no walks, while removing nine batters – including the last batter he faced. He launched 103 stress-free throws, which will likely allow the Yankees to bring him back on four days of rest to face the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night.
The Yankees will benefit from a start by Luis Cessa Wednesday night to push C. C. Sabathia to open the series of the weekend against the Red Sox, games for which the Yankees have a more serious tone.
