Severino didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out 10 across six innings.
Severino was impressive aside from a couple of hiccups -- a Niko Goodrum solo homer in the fourth inning and a two-run triple from Jim Adduci in the fifth -- racking up double-digit strikeouts for the first time since June 4. It was just his second quality start in eight appearances since the All-Star break, though he still owns a solid 3.32 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 199:41 K:BB through 171 innings (28 starts) this season. Severino will look to keep the momentum going as he faces the A's on the road in his next start.
