The Yankees did exactly what you should do with your ace on the mound against a bad team last night, clubbing the Tigers 13-0. They can win their 13th series of the season today, with a Saturday matinee and Luis Severino on the hill. As a bonus, the game is on a real TV broadcast this time.
I’d say that Severino has a tough act to follow after what Gerrit Cole did last night, but really you could say that about almost every Yankee starter this season. The internal competition and apparent one-upmanship from the rotation has been the best thing about 2022, and it’s Severino’s turn to try and match what Cole and Jameson Taillon have done the last couple games.
