You have to feel for Luis Severino. Injuries have derailed what was developing into a Cy Young-caliber career, robbing Severino of his prime years and Yankees fan the joy of watching him pitch every fifth day. Today represented yet another sad chapter in his unfortunate story as the righty was forced from the contest in the fifth with a left side injury. The Yankees would go on to lose, 8-2, but right now all of our thoughts are with Sevy.
Severino looked razor sharp out of the gate, blowing an elevated 97-mph fastball by Christian Yelich for his first strikeout.
