Severino was pleased with the command of his slider on Tuesday as the Tigers failed to record a hit on the pitch.
“It was really good today,” Severino said. “I got [Jose Trevino catching] and he knew what was working, so he was calling it a lot.”
Severino had said earlier this spring he hoped to call most of his pitches via the PitchCom device on his belt, but Trevino made the decision to take that responsibility off his plate and call the pitches from behind the plate. “I thought he threw the ball well, after the first,” Trevino said. “Just take some pressure off him. Put it all on me: ‘I’ll call the pitches and you can shake yes or no if you want that pitch or not, but I’m going to call it. You don’t have to call it anymore. I’ll do it. You shake yes or no to me.’ ”
