Another nail was driven into the coffin of the Yankees’ season on Friday in The Bronx when they lost 8-2 to the Brewers.
And with another rough outing under his belt, Luis Severino’s season with the Yankees may be over.
The right-hander’s season-ending ambitions were dashed when he was removed from the game with what the Yankees called a “left side ιnjury.”
Three errors by the Yankees in the field resulted to three runs in the top of the seventh inning, and the team’s defense continued to crumble from there, allowing three more runs in the eighth.
After winning five in a row, the Yankees have dropped their last two games to Milwaukee, who leads the NL Central.
The leadoff single by Brice Turang in the top of the fifth was Severino’s 70th and final pitch of the night before he was injured.
A very distressed Severino took his glove off as the play progressed.After a cursory inspection by the trainers, he was replaced by Jhony Brito in the game.
The Yankees have announced that Severino will have additional testing on Saturday.
After struggling in his previous start in Houston, Severino let up a two-run homer to Willy Adames in the third inning.
The 29-year-old, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, was removed from Friday’s game due to a 6.65 earned run average.His career was bright but health problems interrupted him every year starting in 2019.
The offseason market for Severino was already a mystеry.
The most recent ιnjury may have clouded the picture.
Severino, who turns 30 in February, hasn’t played in more than 19 games in the regular season since 2018.
Up until the seventh inning, when he allowed a leadoff double to Andruw Monasterio, Brito kept the score knotted up.
Christian Yelich’s groundout advanced Monasterio to third, and William Contreras’ single to left off Jonathan Loaisiga plated him.
Then, on Carlos Santana’s single to right, Contreras stole second from a sleeping Loaisiga and eventually scored.Santana advanced to second on Jake Bauers’s errant throw.
It was then that Adames made it a 5-2 game with an RBI flare down the right field line.
After winning five in a row previous to Thursday’s loss to the Tigers, the Yankees have now dropped two in a row and are now only one game above.500.
With one out and two runs in, third inning, Jasson Dominguez gave the Yankees the lead for good with his fourth home run since being brought up.
The right-center home run was the last Һit of the game for the Yankees.
Four of Dominguez’s home runs have come when he has been batting to his left.
