the Yankees Once again they failed to get anything offensive as they were defeated by the Atlanta Braves 5-0 on Tuesday night at Truist Park.
Here’s the fast food…
– Louis SeverinoHis first inning problems this season are well documented, so facing the best team in MLB in scoring runs in the first inning was definitely a challenge for him.
The right-handed outing didn’t start on the right foot after that Ronald Acuna Jr to lead the game, but things got worse when Severino threw the ball wide trying to hit Acuna Jr. at first base allowing the rushing baseman to advance to third with no one out.
However, it looked like Severino might make it out of the inning unscathed after he was hit Michael Harris II to go out and go out Austin Riley on a 99 mph fastball. But after the dangerous walk Matt OlsonAnd Marcel Ozuna He sent the first pitch he saw from Severino (a lazy slider in the middle of the plate) into orbit for a three-run home run to get Atlanta at the plate. The inning could have been worse with a walk and strike-by-pitch, but Severino finished the inning with a fly out.
— from that point on, Sevy didn’t give in all that bad. He struck out four of the next seven batters he faced, all swinging, with a great fastball/cutter combination. His night could have been very different, too, if not for an error by a third baseman Isiah Keener Valeva To start the bottom of the fourth inning. Severino did well to forget the error and get two home runs, but facing Acuna Jr. with a runner and his third time through the lineup, he hit another home run, this two-run shot, giving the Braves a 5-0 lead.
– Both runs weren’t earned on an error, but for both runs (which accounted for all five innings), Sevy had two outs in the inning and couldn’t finish things off. However, Severino wasn’t as bad as his recent streak of 4.0 innings, five hits, five runs (three earned), two runs and five hits suggests.
— Offensively, meanwhile, the Yankees couldn’t get ahead, mustering only one strikeout all night — DJ LimahieuOne song per second off the right hand Bryce Elder. Aaron Judge He walked two and New York walked a total of five times, but they hit on four double plays, including Judge to end the game, quickly erasing any potential threat.
– The only bright spots in the game were the Yankee relievers (Wanda PeraltaAnd Jonathan LuizigaAnd Tommy Canley And Clay Holmes) each pitched a scoreless inning in an effort to keep their team in the game.
— in the end, it wasn’t enough as the Yankees are now down to 60-60 on the season with their playoff chances on life support.
