From Rotoworld: Suter allowed just an unearned run over six innings and struck out eight in beating the Orioles on Monday. The Orioles went ahead and packed up early after Wade Miley gave up seven runs in the first two innings. Suter was making just his second start of the year, the other coming as the 26th man in a doubleheader last month. He has a 3.00 ERA between the starts and six relief appearances. His stuff seems best suited for facing lineups one time through, rather than three, but he’ll get another start this weekend in the Bronx versus the Yankees.
Severino was knocked for six runs on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings in Sunday’s 8-1 loss to the Astros. The Yankees needed a stopper-effort from Severino after blowing a 6-3 lead late on Saturday, but it was not to be. The Astros broke through with three runs in the second inning — the big blow coming on a two-run homer by Marwin Gonzalez — one more in the fifth and yet another in the sixth before Severino was sent to the showers. The young right-hander struck out seven and walked one in the dud outing. He has had a rough go of it lately, having surrendered 16 runs in his last four starts. Overall, he is pitching to a 3.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 114/25 K/BB ratio across 99 2/3 frames.
