Ivan Nova gave up five runs -- four earned -- in 5 1/3 innings Friday against the Twins.
Justin Morneau and Ryan Doumit hit back-to-back homers off him in the second, accounting for two of the seven hits he allowed. After opening the spring by allowing one run in nine innings, Nova has given up nine runs -- eight earned -- and three homers over 11 innings in his last two starts. He's still likely to be the Yankees' fifth starter, but we're not really expecting much.
