Severino finds his old form and takes a no-hitter into the 8th inning for the Mets at Citi Field

After carrying a no-hitter into the eighth inning, Luis Severino was asked when he knew this could be a special night. Making his sixth start with his new team, a dominant Severino held the Chicago Cubs hitless Monday until Dansby Swanson singled on the right-hander's 89th pitch with nobody out in the eighth. Swanson connected on an 0-2 sinker clocked at 97 mph, sending a soft liner over shortstop into shallow left-center for a clean base hit.
