The Dodgers teed off on Luis Severino for six runs on plenty of loud contact before he could record a third out, and the Yankees lost 8-4.
But the intrigue of what might happen in round one or the specter of a pitchers’ duel had been spoiled by the end of the first inning.
Donaldson later added a two-run homer in the ninth, in his first game since April 5, but it was not enough to keep the Yankees from their second straight loss. On a night when Severino’s average fastball velocity was down 2.3 mph — from the 97.3 mph he had averaged across his first two starts — the Dodgers ambushed him.
As troubling as the amount of contact that Severino allowed was how hard the balls left the Dodgers’ bats. In the first inning alone, they recorded exit velocities of 110.1 mph, 105.4 mph, 94 mph, 101.7 mph, 40.2 mph , 101.1 mph, 99.2 mph, 89.7 mph, 99.3 mph and 98.6 mph.
