Luis Severino Wins His First

After pitching well enough to win, but not getting much run support in his first starts, Luis Severino finally got some support, and though not as sharp as he's capable of being, still only allowed 1 run over 6 innings.

Luis actually gave up the 1 run on an improbable homer from Lindor, where Severino's fastball provided most of the power.   That happened in the first, but Luis didn't let that or anything else shake him today.   The Yanks came right back with a two run homer from Gardy and a solo shot from McCann and that was all Severino needed.  

I say he wasn't as sharp as he could be because he walked 4 and let his pitch count get up by missing the glove too often, but he also only allowed 3 hits and struck out 6.  I'm sure it was a relief for him to finally get a win, but he's probably been the Yanks best pitcher since he's been up, anyway,

The Yanks did manage to score 6 overall against more good Cleveland pitch and without ARod or Tex in the lineup.     Big win.

Happy for Severino. Nice to see him finally get some run support for a change.

I hope everyone heard Jorge thank Mark Newman today. People crapped on him way too much after he got promoted and had to do more than his share. When he was running player development, the Yanks developed a dynasty.
