Luis Severino’s Mets debut goes awry as Rhys Hoskins, Brewers take another game
NY Post
Luis Severino’s Mets debut on Saturday went about as smoothly as his final season with the Yankees.
Which is to say there was much room for improvement.
The defense behind Severino didn’t help, but the right-hander also had no answers for Mets tormenter Rhys Hoskins in the team’s 7-6 loss to the Brewers at Citi Field.
A day after Hoskins’ late slide into second base irked Jeff McNeil and prompted the benches to empty, Hoskins delivered three hits, including a homer, and four RBIs — all of which occurred before reliever Yohan Ramirez threw behind him in the seventh inning and was ejected.
Severino, who arrived on a one-year contract worth $13 million after pitching to a 6.65 ERA in 19 appearances with the Yankees last season, was among the Mets’ bright spots in spring training, but that didn’t carry over into his first start.
Overall, he allowed six earned runs on a career-high 12 hits over five innings with six strikeouts.
Silent most of the game, Mikal Bridges required just one play to make himself heard.
