NEW YORK – Luis Severino battled his way through six hard innings on Thursday night and would have most likely been in line for a win had his second baseman, Starlin Castro, not booted an easy double play ball. The error was Castro’s sixth on the season in 262 chances.
The Los Angeles Angels then scored nine unanswered runs as the New York Yankees blew an early 5-1 lead and ended up losing 10-5.
The top of the seventh inning is where things went wrong for the Yankees. Cliff Pennington led off the inning with a single to right field, which put Severino well over 90 pitches.
