2nd of 3 in triple play Saturday
(MLB) Detroit vs. Pittsburgh, 08/08/2020 4:05 PM, Score: 11 - 5
Total: 9.00 | 100.00 Under
Result: Loss
Ivan Nova is facing his former team, the Pirates, in Pittsburgh, where he went a combined 13-8 with a 2.75 ERA from 2016 to 2018 in outings at PNC Park. Look for him to feel right at home here even though he is on the road. That is the point being made above as he faces his former team in a venue that has proven comfortable for him. The pitcher that is truly at home for this start is Derek Holland and he has fared better at home than on the road in recent seasons. Also, so far this season, he has allowed just 6 hits in his 11.1 innings on the mound. Though both lineups enjoyed success at the plate last night that was surprising as they entered Friday night action as two of the worst hitting teams (based on batting average) so far this season.
