With the Yanks batting in the fifth with a 6-1 lead, two on and nobody out, Severino was pulled from the game with his pitch count at 97. The righty then made a walk of shame back to the A’s third-base dugout with his hat and glove in his left hand and a sour look on his face.

The Yankees more blistered than bombed Severino, who watched hard-hit ground balls find holes and lined shots to the outfield find grass, which enabled the Yankees to frequently flex speed they did not used to have.

The New York Yankees beat the Athletics on Sunday to take a three-game series in Sacramento. New York’s offense was dominant, scoring ten runs in the first game and seven in the second, despite a loss.
