Severino Dominates as Chapman Fails to Deliver the Win

Severino was once again splendid on Sunday Night Baseball's Big Stage against the Cubs.  The Yanks' blossoming ace pitched 7 innings of 1 run, 9K, 1BB and 4H ball.  Of his 21 outs, 9 were K's and 11 were groundouts.  He also hit 100 on a strikeout pitch in the 5h.  That's a pretty sick thing to do to the world champs.  Lester was also dealing, and held the Yanks to 2 runs through 7. Fortunately, Gardy singled for Sevy, and Ellsbury homered him home.

Betances got into some trouble in the 8th, but also hit 100 on his way to getting out of it.

Chapman pitched the ninth, and became the third of the three Yankee pitchers to reach 100 on the gun.  And he also got into trouble in the 9th, giving up a walk and a hit before  K'ing the next guy, and giving up a run scoring single to the next, and then gave up another run, and stolen base to put the winning  and tying runs of 2nd and 3rd, before getting a K for the second out.  Dammit, he just gave up the tying run and stole a win from Severino.  And Girardi has taken him out.  What a disaster and maybe Girardi shouldn't have waited 3 runs and only two outs to take him out.
