Nova (3-3) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk with four strikeouts over six innings in a loss Monday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Nova had solid control but was punished for his mistakes in the zone, as he surrendered four doubles and a home run. He has given up six home runs in just five starts this year, continuing a problem he has had for his entire career (1.1 HR/9 in 668.2 innings). Nova's control has been elite -- he has issued just six walks in 43 innings -- but it won't matter if the strikes he throws continue to be so hittable.
