Aaron Judge’s Strikeout Helps Luis Severino Escape Huge USA Threat

Severino wriggled out of Team USA’s best chance yet, striking out Judge and Schwarber in the third with runners on second and third. Schwarber froze on a strike-three sweeper down the middle as the Dominican right-hander roared off the mound. Despite 57 pitches and pressure building, Severino kept the Americans scoreless and protected the Dominican Republic’s early 1-0 semifinal lead.
