ATLANTA – Rookie Luis Severino earned praise from both clubhouses following another win for the New YorkYankees.

Severino allowed four hits in six shutout innings, leading the Yankees over the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Saturday night.

“It doesn’t seem to overwhelm him, the situation here,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

A fan was killed at Turner Field hours earlier when he fell from the upper deck onto the lower-level stands. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Lt. Charles Hampton of the Atlanta Police Department’s homicide unit said foul play was not suspected, pending further review by the medical examiner.
