Severino dominates as Yankees take another series from Astros

Modal Trigger

Luis Severino celebrates after striking out George Springer to end the seventh inning of the Yankees' 5-3 win Wednesday night.Consider it another challenge met.

The Yankees looked at this series against the defending World Series champs as a test, and just like they did in Houston a little less than a month ago, they passed.

With Wednesday’s 5-3 win in The Bronx, the Yankees won a second straight series against the Astros, thanks largely to Luis Severino, who was terrific again.

The right-hander outdid Dallas Keuchel, giving up just two runs in seven innings, while matching a season-high 11 strikeouts. The Yankees have won all but one of the right-hander’s dozen starts this year.
