The Yankees didn’t get the win on Wednesday night in Minnesota, as the offense was in deep sleep during the 3-1 loss to the Twins. The defeat sealed a series loss to a team the Bombers have knocked around senselessly over the past 15 years. It also forced the team into a dogfight for the first Wild Card spot.
On the bright side, Wednesday night’s frustrating loss did have an enormous positive attached to it. Luis Severino looked remarkably better than his disastrous start in Oakland, tossing 5.2 innings of one-run ball while walking none and striking out five.
