Nova (8-5) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Rays. He struck out only one.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't his sharpest outing of the season, but the Pittsburgh offense backed Nova with a four-run outburst in the bottom of the first inning and he coasted from there. The right-hander will take a 3.08 ERA into his next start Monday on the road against the Phillies.
