His previous start was less impressive and now it looks like a continuation of that.

Not pretty, but Nova and the pirates must survive tonight. Can't lose this one.

Hopefully he doesn't have the problem of facing hitters that are familiar with him. I wonder how TB did against him when he was a Yankee.

That's what I was looking up...most were high run games but didn't get a chance to look at every year.



Walking the opposing pitcher is

JOSH BELL!

Bell is turning on power this year. Nice to see.

Nova is at 89 pitches and I think he's done at this point

Can the pen hold a 3 run lead?

Osuna now has more RBIs than Polanco with half as many ABs. Polanco, the former #3 batter, is now 10th on the team in RBIs and terrible defensively. I see no reason to play Polanco over Osuna at this point unless Osuna tanks.

Hudson: 1 pitch, 1 double.

Woo-hoo! Scoreless inning for Hudson.
