Right-hander Ivan Nova is on the mound for the Yankees this afternoon in the middle game of a three-game set against the Jays. In his last outing vs. the Tigers, Nova lasted only 5 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on eleven hits while striking out five for the loss. It’s been over a month since Nova picked up his last win and has an 8.36 ERA since the All-Star break. Let’s hope “Super” Nova shows up today and gets back on track.
Jeter to DH today; Ichiro not in lineup.
