Luis Severino looked like his old self on Saturday, limiting the Padres to one earned run in 6.2 inning in the Yankees' 3-2 victory.
Give Boone credit. For all the shaking and baking, the Bombers are at least holding their own in the East. They’re eight games over .500, seven behind the first-place Rays but currently in possession of the third wild-card berth.
If nothing else, Saturday’s triumph was a dress rehearsal for October: sold-out Stadium, a tense, low-scoring game against an opponent that, like the Yankees, appears headed for at least the wild-card. But that’s October’s job description. A lightning-quick best of three , or five or seven . You better come in hot or else a lonely winter awaits.Severino rose to the challenge, retiring the first 11 Padres, striking out four while allowing only one ball out of the infield. Anyone who remembers the old Severino – pre-injuries, pre-surgeries – would’ve felt they were in a time warp.
The second half of conversation is Rodon’s timetable. The two previous obstacles “are fine now,” he said, which means the clock to his Yankees debut has finally started.
