NEW YORK -- Luis Severino walked off the mound in the fourth inning, headed to an offseason of uncertainty following a sophomore season of frustration.Expected to be a major component of the New York Yankees rotation, the 22-year-old right-hander was demoted to the minors three times.At the beginning it was a tough situation. I got sent down, but Im finishing strong, he said Saturday after the Yankees rallied to beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 in their penultimate game of the season. Its good.Severino was 5-3 with a 2.89 ERA in 11 starts over the final two months last season. But he went 3-8 with a 5.83 ERA this year in 11 starts and 10 relief appearances, making only four big league starts after mid-May.New York wants him to develop a changeup to go with his 97 mph fastball and slider. Because he doesnt have a consistent third pitch, the Yankees could shift him to the bullpen.I think its a topic of discussion for the winter, manager Joe Girardi said. I think what you try to do next spring is you take the 12 best pitchers when you leave camp.New Yorks projected 2017 rotation includes Masahiro Tanaka, CC Sabathia and Michael Pineda. Beyond that, Severino is slated to compete with Luis Cessa, Bryan Mitchell and others. And then there are possible additions in trades and free agency.I think the one thing that players need to understand is theres no certainty in this game, Girardi said. When you take the field on a daily basis, you have to prove yourself, so theres nothing given to anyone in this game. So you have to go out and earn it. So I think its important that you never forget that. He understands that he had an up-and-down year. He knows that.Baltimore built a 3-0 lead on Michael Bourns two-run single in the second and Manny Machados third-inning homer on an 0-2 pitch. Starting after the Yankees decided to skip Tanakas final turn, Severino allowed five hits in 3 2/3 innings, leaving after 66 pitches.I think I need to work on my changeup and my fastball command, he said.Austin sparked the comeback against tiring Wade Miley with an RBI single in the fifth and a home run in the seventh around Chase Headleys run-scoring double in the sixth. Austin Romine hit a two-run single against All-Star setup man Brad Brach in the eighth, and Brett Gardner doubled in two runs off Oliver Drake.Tyler Clippard (2-3) pitched a perfect eighth, and Dellin Betances struck out the side after an infield hit in the ninth. The Yankees sent the wild card-chasing Orioles to their second loss in eight games.I think everyone in there wants to finish strong, said Headley, whose eighth-inning double down the right-field line set up Romines hit. You play the game with integrity to try and make sure everybody has a fair shot.CLANKThird base coach Joe Espada gave Headley a stop sign on Romines hit, but Headley kept going after making contact with shortstop J.J. Hardy. Third base umpire Jim Reynolds signaled Headley should be allowed to score.It was obstruction. So I wasnt real clear if I didnt go home whether Id be awarded home, Headley said.GOODBYE TEXPlaying his next-to-last game before retirement, Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira went 1 for 2 and left for a pinch runner after his fifth-inning single.JUDGE-MENT TIMERF Aaron Judge, sidelined since a season-ending oblique strain, was back in the clubhouse. He hit .179 with four homers and 10 RBI in 27 games after his Aug 13 call-up, striking out 42 times in 84 at-bats.The strikeouts are a concern, Girardi said. When he hits it, theres a real good chance hes going to hit it hard, and hes going to have misses that go out of the ballpark, thats the bottom line, because hes so big and strong.INCOMPLETENew York is nearing its first season without having any complete games from its starting pitchers. The Yankees had one each in 2004, 2007 and 2009. Miami, Milwaukee and Toronto also had no complete games going into Saturday.MEMORY LANEOn the 55th anniversary of Roger Maris 61st home run, son Kevin Maris threw out the ceremonial first pitch, flanked by brothers Randy, Rich and Roger Jr.DOWN ON THE FARMAlex Rodriguez met with players at the Yankees minor league complex in Tampa, Florida, and worked with SSs Jorge Mateo and Gleyber Torres, and 3Bs Miguel Andujar and Kyle Holder, then stayed in the dugout for the instructional league game against Baltimore.UP NEXTCessa (4-3) is slated to start Sunday for New York against RHP Kevin Gausman (8-12).

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans district attorney said hell seek 60 years in prison for the man who killed New Orleans Saints star Will Smith -- the maximum 40 years for manslaughter, plus another 20 years for attempted manslaughter in the wounding of Smiths wife.We will do our gut-level best to get the judge to impose the maximum sentence of 60 years, Leon Cannizzaro told reporters Monday.Cardell Hayes was found guilty Sunday night after insisting that he only fired because the retired NFL player was drunk and violent and had grabbed a gun following their collision in traffic last April.No one else testified Smith ever held a gun. A loaded .9-mm semi-automatic handgun was found loaded but unused inside Smiths car.Smith, a 34-year-old father of three, was a defensive leader on the Saints team that lifted spirits in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. He helped carry the team to a winning season in 2006 and a Super Bowl victory four years later.His death in a dispute over traffic was shocking, even for a city with a high rate of homicides.Hayes, 29, will be sentenced on Feb. 17. State Judge Camille Buras will have the option of imposing less than the maximum sentences, and could order them served concurrently. But the D.A. said the crime warrants maximum sentences, served one after the other.Hayes would have faced a mandatory life sentence had he been found guilty as charged of second-degree murder, and Racquel Smith will press for a harsh sentence when she gives her victim impact statement before the sentencing, according to a statement from the family.Its very unfortunate that another child will grow up without a father, said Raquel Smiths lawyer, Peter Thomson, referring to Hayes 6-year-old son. But Mr. Hayes, regardless of that, must face the consequences of his actions under our system of laws.Friends and relatives of Hayes, a former semi-pro football player who owns a towing company, left court without commenting Sunday night.Hayes defense said Smiths popularity led to a rush to judgment by police and prosecutors.

Hayes vehemently denied intentionally ramming the SUV moments later -- he said he was trying to dial 911 to report a hit-and-run and didnt realize how close their cars were.The jury appeared to agree with Hayes on this point, finding him not guilty of aggravated criminal damage to property.Cannizzaro said Monday that Smiths apparent anger and his high blood-alcohol level were likely factors in the jurys decision to hand up a lesser verdict than murder. But, he said he was satisfied with the two convictions, each reached on a 10-2 vote of the 12-member jury.Hayes said he armed himself only after he and his own passenger were accosted by Smith and Richard Hernandez, a passenger in Smiths Mercedes.Hayes also testified that Smith didnt notice his .45-caliber handgun until Hernandez alerted him to it. And he said he only fired after Smith went back to his car to grab his own gun.Assistant Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Napoli repeatedly noted that no other witness said Smith was armed, and that Hayes never told investigators he saw a gun in Smiths hands that night.I never gave a full statement to anyone, Hayes responded.Napoli said in closing arguments that Smith was executed as Hayes fired into his body, once in the side and seven times in the back.This young man tried his best, trying to avoid doing what he had to do, defense attorney John Fuller shouted during his thundering closing, which lasted more than three and a half hours.Saints coach Sean Payton was in court for the late Sunday verdict.
