It was a big night for Adam Warren last night, but it was also another important night for Ivan Nova. He made his third MiL rehab start, second for Triple-A SWB, and this one wasn’t nearly as good as the first 2.
Nova completed 5 innings and gave up 5 earned runs on 7 hits. He walked 2, struck out 4, and threw 49 of his 84 pitches for strikes. I thought he was scheduled for 90 or so, so he didn’t reach that level. His command was not as sharp as it was in his first Triple-A start, which is not all that unexpected after TJS, but as with the first 2 outings there were no physical issues and Nova came out of the start saying he felt good.
