ST. LOUIS — The only respite the Yankees got from their shellacking in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday came from a pair of rain delays that spanned two-plus hours.
After Luis Severino was shelled for a season-high nine runs across four-plus innings in the afternoon, the Yankees turned to a bullpen game at night and found a winning formula.The well-rested reliever came into a bases-loaded jam with two outs in the third inning of a 3-2 game and immediately got the final out before tossing three more scoreless innings on an efficient 36 pitches overall.
In the ninth, the Yankees added some insurance runs on a safety squeeze bunt by Jose Trevino and a two-run single by Gleyber Torres.Earlier in the day, 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.
Asked if he was healthy, Severino said, “Yeah, I feel pretty good right now.” But he now owns a 6.30 ERA through his first eight starts of the season, the beginning of which was delayed by a strained lat in spring training. 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.”“Right now, I’m not at my best moment,” said Severino, who walked three and struck out only two. “I can’t make excuses. I just need to figure out a way to be consistent and get people out. … I’m not doing my job right now.
