ATLANTA -- Rookie Luis Severino continues to place himself in consideration to pitch in some bigger situations for the New York Yankees in the near future.

The 21-year-old right-hander made his fifth consecutive solid start, pitching six scoreless innings as the Yankees defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Saturday night at Turner Field.

"I like what he's done from Day One," New York manager Joe Girardi said.
