While Aaron Judge is down to three games to try to get his 62nd home run, Luis Severino was nearly perfect in a promising final start before the playoffs.
Severino faced the minimum 21 batters with one walk while pitching seven no-hit innings, in only his third start since missing two months with a strained right lat, before the Texas Rangers broke through against New York's bullpen in the Yankees' 3-1 win on Monday night.
Manager Aaron Boone said after the game that he hadn't spoken yet with Judge about whether he would play both games Tuesday.Boone had a one-sided conversation with Severino . The manager wasn't going to push him. Judge has a chance to become the first AL Triple Crown winner since Detroit's Miguel Cabrera in 2012. He leads the AL with 130 RBIs trails Minnesota's Luis Arraez .315 to 311 in the batting race.
Severino, hoping for a postseason rotation spot, struck out seven and averaged 97.9 mph for 47 fastballs, reaching a top velocity of 100.3 mph. He threw 17 changeups, 16 sliders, 11 sinkers and three cutters.

Yanks' Judge Heads on Road Still at 61 Homers; 4 Games LeftAaron Judge won’t break the American League home run record at Yankee Stadium, remaining at 61 as New York headed on the road for its final four regular-season games after a 3-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Judge struck out three times and walked once, disappointing a crowd of 44,332 that watched the Yankees regular-season home finale in rain for much of a chilly, blustery afternoon. New York finishes the regular season with four games at Texas. Judge took a called third strike from rookie Kyle Bradish leading off the first inning, then couldn’t check his swing and stranded the bases loaded when he struck out on a curveball in the second. He walked in the fifth and fanned against Bryan Baker in the seventh.
