It says a lot about the quality of an ace that, on a night where the offense takes control from the very start, the story of the game is how the pitcher performed. That’s exactly what happened tonight in Philadelphia, as Luis Severino led the Yankees to a 6-0 win over the Phillies, guaranteeing them another series win.
Severino was just outstanding. I know we’ve said that a lot so far in 2018 but man, was he on it tonight. The Phillies never really had a chance against the Yankee starter, who started 0-1 against the first TWENTY batters he faced.
