Luis Severino couldn’t be stopped coming into his last start against the Blue Jays. The Yankees ace owned a 1.98 ERA entering the start, and left with an ERA of 2.12. However, despite looking like a sure Cy Young candidate, the wheels fell off the righty after his start in Toronto.
While pitching against the Jays in that game, the right-hander allowed five hits, two walks, and three earned runs over five complete innings. This wouldn’t have been that bad for any other starter, but it was just the third time all season he had given up three earned runs.
