Latest on Severino from Rotoworld: Severino recorded eight strikeouts while tossing 6 1/3 frames of one-run ball in Tuesday’s 8-3 win over the Orioles. The Orioles loaded the bases on Severino in the sixth and plated a run on an infield single, but that’s all they were able to muster off of the young right-hander. Severino gave up seven hits and issued just one free pass to go along with his eight punchouts. He’s allowed just one run over his last three starts, lowering his ERA from 3.86 to 2.93 over that span.
Stroman cruised to an easy win in allowing two runs over six innings Monday against the Reds. The Jays were winning 13-2 when Stroman’s outing ended and ended up prevailing 17-2. Stroman improved to 6-2 with a 3.28 ERA.
