Nova did not factor into the decision in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Giants, surrendering an earned run on six hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was even better than in his previous start, when he gave up just an earned run over six innings against Baltimore on Monday. Nova went the longest he has in a game all season, while also equaling his second-best strikeout total. The 29-year-old seems to have found some stability in July, giving up only an earned run in three of his last four starts while generating a 2-0 record. He'll look to continue his recent success when he takes on the Rays next Friday.
