Both runs came off a home run in the fifth inning, as he also struck out 11. [...]

There are only three pitchers in MLB who head into Sunday's action with seven wins, more than any others. One of the three is New York Yankees ace Luis Severino, who earned his most recent victory on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. The 24-year-old went six innings, allowing three runs on eight hits with a pair of walks and six strikeouts. He tossed just 77 pitches, making this an economic outing following a stretch of five starts where he averaged 106 pitches per game. Severino's record[...]

The 24-year-old breezed through the first four innings of the game before running into trouble in the fifth inning. Starting off with a strike three pitch that escaped from Gary Sanchez, allowing the runner to reach base, Severino labored, tossing nearly 30 pitches in the frame to slow his momentum. Additionally, he allow[...]

New York Yankees ace Luis Severino had one of the best nights of his young career on Wednesday, as he tossed the first complete game shutout of his career.

In nine innings of work, he allowed just five hits and one walk, recording 10 strikeouts. Of his 110 pitches on the night, 83 were strikes, frequently beginning plate appearances with them. [...]

Becoming the first pitcher not named Masahiro Tanaka to start for the New York Yankees on Opening Day in four years, Luis Severino had a strong first statement for the new season. The 24-year-old already held a two-run lead when tossed his first pitch, escaping an early jam with a strikeout after walking two batters. From then, it was smooth sailing, as he wound up allowing just one hit and one more walk through five innings. In the sixth, with one on and two out, manager Aaron Boone removed him[...]

In a move that was widely expected, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced today that Luis Severino will be the club's Opening Day starting pitcher. The 24-year-old took a major leap forward in his third professional season last year, going 14-6 with a 2.98 ERA. Severino was envisioned as an ace when he made his debut in 2015, and after a disastrous 2016, he wound up entering 2017 with lower expectations. Entering 2018, however, Severino and the Yankees have significantly high expectatio[...]
