Back in December, the Athletics handed Luis Severino the largest guaranteed contract in franchise history—a three-year deal worth $67 million. Just one game in, that investment already is paying dividends.
Severino dazzled the Seattle Mariners in six innings of scoreless ball Thursday in the A's 4–2 loss at T-Mobile Park. In those six frames of work, Severino allowed three hits and four walks but didn't yield a single run while also notching six strikeouts. And one of those strikeouts featured one of—if not the—nastiest pitches of this young 2025 season.
