Spiders.com: Nova returns to form, win column against Blue Jays
Nova began the outing by retiring the first nine batters he faced and was perfect heading into the fourth before Rajai Davis broke it up with a single to center. The Blue Jays went on to score that inning, but Nova was already given a lead in the top half of the frame and did not relinquish it.
The 25-year-old dominated the Blue Jays over 7 1/3 innings of work, allowing two runs on five hits, while walking one and striking out 10 to improve to 11-6 on the year. It was the third time this season that Nova has recorded double-digit strikeouts.
After a month of wretchedness, it was good to see Nova pitching better, although the Jays as currently construed are nearly as bad as the Spiders.

Anyone really think CC is going to come back this year? I sure don’t.
Good thing we turned Phelps back into a reliever. Ramon Ortiz time?
Adam Warren will be our ace.
As long as its not a shoulder, elbows are no big deal and the Yankees medical staff is expert at dealing with elbow injuries after all Banuelos, Campos and Gardner all had elbow injuries and none of them lost significant time…..oh shit all is lost, we’re doomed.
Gardner and Sabathia will both return sometime in September to serve as pinch runners.
I’d pinch hit CC for several of the position players we have now.
Shit. Charlie Knepper is really going to have to step up now.
Derek Lowe to the Yankees. Replacing CC with Lowe is a great thing for the Spiders.
8.8 era in his last dozen starts
[7] You lie ! You lie ! You’d better be lying ! You’d… you’d…you…
WAAAAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh !!!!
This is our payback for running CC out for CG’s last month.
Lowe? Just another guy on the roster who used to be good.
Jones, Ibanez, Ichiro…
Jeter, Teixeira, ARod…
I blame myself, I’m watching The Town right now. Actually no….I blame the Mayans. Derek Lowe with the Yankees is clearly a sign of the imminent end times. Poop - I need more beer…
Yay Indians. Here’s hoping for an all Cleveland subway ALCS
