I’d say the kids are alright. Jasson Domínguez and Austin Wells embraced the moment in their MLB debuts last night against the Astros, The Martian homering on his first big-league swing off future first ballot Hall of Famer Justin Verlander while the rookie backstop singled in his first AB and called a solid game behind the plate. I wonder what they and the other rookies in the lineup will get up to tonight.
Luis Severino tossed by far his best start of the season last time out against the Tigers, holding them scoreless for seven innings allowing five hits and no walks with eight strikeouts.
