LAKEWOOD, N.J. -- The New York Yankees' low Class A affiliate, the Charleston Riverdogs, are currently making their one visit to play the Lakewood BlueClaws, the Philadelphia Phillies' farm club in the South Atlantic League. I was there Monday night, when Charleston threw its best starter, and a pair of 2013 first-round picks were in the starting lineups as well. Here's my report from the game.

• Charleston starter Luis Severino showed an impressive three-pitch mix in 5 2/3 innings of work, the longest outing (by outs recorded) of his professional career.
