Double Trouble
The Yankees had two chances to clinch homefield advantage in Saturday’s doubleheader against the Orioles … and two losses later, they had wasted both of them.
Ivan Nova started the opener and capped off his disappointing campaign with another dud. Following the game, Nova summed up his season with one word: “Bad.” Yup, that pretty much describes this: 6-11 , 5.07 ERA, 63 strikeouts, 33 walks.
He is the third Yankee starter in the last 20 years to finish a season with a win percentage below. 400, an ERA above 5.
