Lou Trivino’s Cutter – You pitched admirably, Lou. Those three clean frames with four strikeouts kept the A’s in striking distance until the later innings. This 91 MPH cutter on the 0-2 count is perfectly executed.

Luis Severino’s Fastball – A lot of Yankees fans were skeptical of giving Luis Severino the nod in last night’s game, but you have to give him credit for the four shutout innings and giving the Yankees a plethora of options to bullpen the rest of the game. This first inning fastball at 99 MPH was a statement.

Dellin Betances‘ Curveball – Bringing Dellin Betances into the game with guys on first and second raised some eyebrows, but it worked. Betances got Khris Davis again in a big spot with this 88 MPH knuckle-curve to escape the inning.
