3 TODAY'S STARTING PITCHER: RHP IVAN NOVA (1-0, 3.18 ERA) RHP Ivan Nova will make his second start of the season today in the second game of a three-game series vs. Baltimore made his season debut on 4/3 at Houston, earning the win in the Yankees' 4-2 victory (5.2IP, 6H, 2R/2ER, 5BB, 1K). HIGH SUCCESS RATE: Enters today's game with the third-highest career winning percentage as a starter (min. 50GS) among current Major League pitchers (.679, 38-18) his.788 winning percentage through his first 50 MLB starts (26-7) was the second-highest ever among pitchers who debuted in 1900 or later. ON A ROLL: Since 5/25/13, is 9-5 with a 2.66 ERA (128.1IP, 38ER), the second-lowest mark among American League pitchers in that span (min IP) has allowed four-or-fewer earned runs in 24 consecutive starts dating back to 9/15/12, tied for the longest such streak by a Yankee pitcher since Ron Guidry from 6/2/81-6/24/82 (27 consecutive starts). WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES: In 2012, went 1-2 with a 7.99 ERA in four starts vs. Baltimore (23.2IP, 21ER, 36H, 5HR, 8BB, 19K) in 2013, went 2-0 with a 2.43 ERA in 4G/3GS against the Orioles (29.2IP, 8ER, 18H, 3HR, 4BB, 22K) tossed a complete game in each of his two home starts vs. Baltimore last season (18.0IP, 6H, 2ER, 2BB, 16K). ANGRY BIRDS: Baltimore's Matt Wieters (4HR) and Chris Davis (3HR) are the only two players in the Majors with more than two career home runs off Nova Wieters and teammate Nick Markakis are the only players with 10-or-more career hits against Nova (11 apiece) among players with at least 15AB against Nova, Wieters'.379 batting average ranks second-highest (Mark Trumbo-.563, 9-for-16). STAY IN THE YARD: Has recorded the second-lowest HR/9.0IP ratio among American League starters (min. 20GS) since the beginning of the 2013 season (0.54, 8HR, 133.1IP) has allowed 1HR or fewer in 24 consecutive starts dating back to the 2012 season, marking the second-longest active streak in the AL and the fourth-longest active streak in the Majors has not allowed multiple home runs in a game since 8/21/12 at Chicago-AL (2HR). SUPPORTING CAST: Has allowed only one unearned run since the start of the 2013 season, with the Yankees committing only two errors in his last 145.0IP when the Yankees committed an error on 9/10/13 in the bottom of the fifth inning at Baltimore, it snapped a inning errorless streak for the club with Nova pitching (4/21-9/10) since then, Nova has pitched 26.2 consecutive innings without the Yankee defense committing an error. THEFT PREVENTION: Has allowed only five stolen bases in 11 attempts over his last 130.0IP (since 4/16/13). NO PRESSURE: Opposing batters are 0-for-13 against Nova with the bases loaded since the start of the 2013 season (0BB, 4K, 1HBP, 1SF), including 0-for-2 in 2014 in his career, has held hitters to a.098 batting average (4-for-41, 2HR) with the bases loaded, including a.059 mark when there are two outs (1-for-17, 1HR, 0BB, 5K). STARTING OFF: Is 6-3 with a 5.53 ERA (68.1IP, 42ER) in 14 career appearances (13 starts) in April, marking his highest ERA of any calendar month. YOU COMPLETE ME: Last season, became only the third pitcher since 1995 to record three-or-more complete games despite making 20-or-fewer starts (also Roy Halladay in 2005 and Roy Oswalt in 2001) became the first Yankee pitcher to accomplish the feat since Greg Cadaret in 1989 (3CG, 13GS).
