Luis Severino lost his advantage

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – If there is one thing JA Happ, Masahiro Tanaka and the departing of Tuesday, Luis Severino, have one thing in common, namely that none of them has always seemed to be a starter from the first place at the end of the regular season.

There was nothing Severino did in a 9-2 win against the Rays, which probably convinced anyone in the Yankees' organization to start next Wednesday, but the right-hander at least made a no more towards his horrible 11.-beginner stretch that lasted nearly two months.

Severino was manhandled in the third round of the Tropicana Field with two doubles, one walk and one shot, and the damage would have been worse if Matt Quatraro, Tampa Bay's third coach, had not signaled to Brandon Lowe run double right without anyone.

Choi was thrown to the ground and Severino bounced out of the inning without allowing another run.

Severino and Aaron Boone blamed the heavy charge on the fact that the right-hander was in the dugout for a moment at the top of the pack, when the Yankees opened the match with a third.

"I think that was the problem," Severino said. "In these situations, I usually play a little bit indoors. Today, I have not done it for any reason.

Boone said the dismissal caused the loss of Severino.

"What I like is that he's regrouped," said Boone about Severino, who retired eight times in a row until Lowe led the bottom of the sixth with another double to finish the pitcher's night. He was spared allowing a new race when Tommy Kahnle pulled out the next three batters to force Lowe to finish third.

Severino allowed four hits and two points in his five or more heats, but he also scored three points – while withdrawing seven shots – and his throwing count increased.

Despite not having lost a batter in the sixth, Severino shot 97 shots, but was especially effective for a third consecutive start.

During these outings, Severino gave up four innings and no circuit of more than 17 sq / ft for an ERA of 2.04. Although it's way better than his 11-game stretch when he allowed 13 homers and had an ERA of 6.83 after 55 innings, he's not dominant.

"There is no doubt that he feels much more comfortable," Boone said. "I think he's getting some of that bragging and throwing it on with more confidence."

A lack of fast ball control was a problem, but he was good enough to win another win in one of his last regular season outings.

"I have to finish strong," said Severino, who became the first pitcher in franchise history to win several seasons with 220 outs. "I've had difficulties, but I know I can be good if I order my stuff."
