Luis Severino News: Sharp in return Tuesday

Severino took a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Severino was likely working with a workload restriction in his first start since Aug. 5, although that didn't prevent him from delivering his first scoreless outing since May 17. The three hits allowed also matched a season best, and the veteran right-hander has now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last five appearances. Severino has a 4.65 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 107:45 K:BB over 141.1 innings, and he'll be looking to increase his pitch count next week against the Red Sox.
