The Yankees had gotten WHOMPED heading into this afternoon’s series finale against the Philadelphia Fightin’ Amaros. Like “34 runs allowed in the last 3 games” type of whomped. And they had Ivan Nova returning to the mound to make his first Major League start in over a calendar year today, which didn’t spell good things for their chances of ending that trend. Coming back from TJS is always a tricky process, and typically it’s a pitcher’s command rust that causes the biggest problems early on. So of course Nova came out and threw 6+ shutout innings.
