That's not exactly a lineup that inspires confidence.

Unless you're the Yankees.

Nova struck put side in 1st on 12 pitches. Now that wouldn't inspire confidence for the Yankees.

A then he makes that stabbing catch.

Maybe it's his day.

Sam Crawford hold the MLB record with 309 career triples. Stewart is now just 308 behind him.

Well the way the first 2 innings unfolded spells trouble for the Pirates.

Bases loaded and no outs ... 1 run.

Runner on 3rd and 1 out ... 0 runs.

I'm guessing the Pirates will pay for that eventually.

Another solid outing for Nova today. I just hope the bullpen doesn't screw this game up. Really need to win this series with the Cubs coming in here the next 3 days.

Whey are they taking Nova out at 87 pitches?

He's got to be a better 8th inning option than Hudson or whoever they're going to run out there.
