FOR STARTERS: With RHP Luis Severino tossing 5.2 scoreless innings on Thursday (1H, 3BB, 7K) and RHP Masahiro Tanaka allowing 1ER in 6.0IP (3H, 0BB, 8K, 1HR), the Yankees became the fifth team in Baseball history to have each of their first two starters of a season allow no more than 3H and 1ER, joining the 2013 Seattle Mariners, 2014 Cincinnati Reds, 2014 St. Louis Cardinals and 2015 Cleveland Indians only the 2013 Mariners also had both of those starters earn wins (Félix Hernández and Hisashi Iwakuma) only the 2015 Indians have ever begun a season with three straight starts of no more than 3H and 1ER. According to research by the YES Network, Severino and Tanaka are the seventh pair of Yankees starting pitchers since 1920 to each allow no more than 1R in the team's first two games of a season, and first since Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte in 2003 the last time Yankees starters each had at least 7K in the first two games of a season was 1932 (Lefty Gomez-7K and Red Ruffing-9K).
