Phil Hughes had an odd outing. He only lasted five innings – throwing 102 pitches, gave up four runs [...]

I apologize in advance for the not-so-clever Ivan Nova cliche but it must be said. Nova was super today. In his first outing since August 21, Nova pitched into the seventh inning surrendering only two earned runs – one was a Luke Scott single given up by
