NEW YORK -- Luis Severino combined with two relievers on a one-hitter to continue the Yankees' run of outstanding starting pitching performances as New York beat the Detroit Tigers 3-0 on Saturday.
Aaron Judge hit his MLB-best 21st homer on the game's first pitch and the Yankees won their fifth straight and for the ninth time in 11 games since their only three-game losing streak this year May 22-23. The Yankees have also outscored opponents 33-3 during their winning streak.
After Jameson Taillon retired the first 21 hitters Thursday night and Gerrit Cole followed by setting down the first 20 batters, the suspense ended early for Severino and it ended by mere inches.
