Mets' Luis Severino: Taking ball in Game 2

Severino will start Sunday in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Phillies, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The Mets are going with Kodai Senga (calf/triceps) in a likely bullpen game in Game 1 before turning to Severino on normal rest in Game 2. Severino tossed six innings and allowed four runs (three earned) in his wild-card series outing versus the Brewers. He'll be opposed by Cristopher Sanchez.
