Goes three frames in first start Severino did not factor in the decision against Boston on Saturday, completing three innings and allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five. Impact Yankees manager Aaron Bone indicated prior to the game that he was hopeful Severino would be able to throw 65-70 pitches after experiencing arm soreness during spring training, and the right-hander hit the lower end of that range in his first regular-season start since 2019. He managed to hold the Red Sox to two runs despite giving up three extra-base hits, with the big blow against him being a two-run homer off the bat of Alex Verdugo in the second inning. Despite the so-so final pitching line, it was a promising performance by the 28-year-old highlighted by five strikeouts. Severino's second turn on the mound will likely come on the road versus Toronto next week.
