Tonight probably ranks among one of the more horrendous regular season losses in Yankee history. You had all of the hype heading into tonight, having built up even more with the rain-out yesterday and the game was over before you could even get in your seat. A five run top of the first with David Price looming in the dugout. You might as well have changed the channel right then and there.
I could not have been more wrong about Severino tonight. The moment most definitely looked too big for him as he struggled with his command right from the get-go. In the second at-bat of the game Donaldson bashed a letter-high fastball into the left field bleachers and you knew right away it was going to be that kind of night for the Blue Jays. Justin Smoak would also homer in the first, Encarnacion walked his stupid fucking parrot and Russell Martin hit a pair of dingers before the night was over. Luis lasted just 2.1 innings, surrendering six runs in his only bad outing since joining the team on August 5th.
Not a great start. Toronto now holds a 2.5 game lead in the division heading into tomorrow's double-header.
