Severino struck out a season-high nine batters and walked one while allowing four runs over 6.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Severino's strikeout pitches were working despite his throwing just 60 percent of his pitches for strikes, but he fell victim to a trio of homers that accounted for the entirety of the damage done against him. On the positive side, he went deeper into Sunday's start than he had been in any other outing this season, and he maintains an impressive 1.7 BB/9 through 32.1 innings. If he can limit the home runs, Severino should fare better in Friday's start versus the White Sox.
