Luis Severino dominates as Mets hang on for nail-biting win over Marlins
NY Post
MIAMI — Luis Severino needs to get disappointed more often.
Last month, after learning he wouldn’t get to face the Yankees in the Subway Series, the Mets right-hander had one of his sharpest performances of the season, against the Cubs.
And Saturday, after he was again denied the wish of facing his former team — the Mets plan to start lefties Jose Quintana and Sean Manaea against the Yankees this week instead — Severino was again super.
The Mets needed every bit of it on a day their lineup was virtually silenced in a 1-0 victory over the Marlins at loanDepot park.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
