So much for momentum when it comes to the Yankees — and Luis Severino.
ST. LOUIS — So much for momentum.
The Cardinals clobbered Severino for nine hits, including a pair of home runs, before knocking him out of the game with two on and no out in the fifth inning. They got one more inning in before the skies opened up again — just as Josh Donaldson ran in from the bullpen to make his first career pitching appearance — leading to another delay of 18 minutes.In his last start before Saturday, Severino threw six shutout innings against a dangerous Rangers lineup, which had manager Aaron Boone saying before this game, “I think he’s got a chance to go on a great run here for us.”It proved to be wishful thinking, at least in the short term.
Then, after Severino walked Nolan Gorman, Nolan Arenado hit a grounder to third base. Cabrera fielded it cleanly but his throw to second base was off-target and ended up in right field.After the runners tagged up and moved to second and third on a foul fly-out to right field, Alec Burleson and Paul DeJong delivered back-to-back RBI singles to make it 5-0.
