Ivan Nova dazzled in his return to the Yankees' rotation on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits over his six-plus innings of work in a win over the Rays. Nova racked up eight strikeouts while walking two in the game. He cruised through the first five innings unscathed until Evan Longoria blasted a solo homer to get the Rays on the board in the sixth. They added another on an RBI single from Luke Scott in the seventh, chasing Nova from the game. He'll head into Friday's home match-up against the Athletics with a 12-7 record and 4.85 ERA.
