Yankees Luis Severino will start on Tuesday vs. Angels
Continuing on his comeback trail to the Yankees, Luis Severino opened Game 2 of the Eastern League Championship Series for the Trenton Thunder as they took on the Bowie Baysox.
Naturally, the Yankees Double-A affiliate, Trenton Thunder, would have wanted to walk away from Game 2 of the ELCS victorious, but for the major league club, the results of the man who opened the contest, Luis Severino, trumped all.
While a lights-out performance would have been nice, it was paramount that Severino felt comfortable on the mound, get in as many reps as he could in an actual game-setting and leave unscathed in terms of his health.
