Analysis: That's now 12 quality starts in 14 outings this season for the steady right-hander, who's 4-1 with a 3.46 ERA over his past six assignments. Nova may not help much in the strikeout category, but his consistency is a definite plus.

May 25 12:39 PM PT1:39 PM MT2:39 PM CT3:39 PM ET15:39 ET19:39 GMT3:39 12:39 PM MST2:39 PM EST3:09 PM VEN23:39 UAE2:39 PM CT-Ivan Nova improved to 5-3, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk in 8.1 innings, as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Atlanta Braves 9-4 on Thursday.

May 15 6:57 AM PT7:57 AM MT8:57 AM CT9:57 AM ET9:57 ET13:57 GMT21:57 6:57 AM MST8:57 AM EST9:27 AM VEN17:57 UAE8:57 AM CT-Ivan Nova allowed three runs on nine hits and one walk in 6.0 innings as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Sunday. Nova struck out four, ending the game with a 2.48 ERA and 1.03 WHIP on the season.
Analysis: Nova's pitch-to-contact approach has caught up with him a bit over his last three starts, but he's still been pretty solid and has made four straight starts on the road. With the Pirates playing 22 of their next 31 at home, he'll have plenty of chances to be effectively efficient again.

Apr. 29 7:26 PM PT8:26 PM MT9:26 PM CT10:26 PM ET22:26 ET2:26 GMT10:26 7:26 PM MST9:26 PM EST9:56 PM VEN6:26 UAE (+1)9:26 PM CT-Ivan Nova improved to 3-2, allowing three hits in a complete-game shutout, as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Miami Marlins 4-0 on Saturday. Nova struck out seven, ending the game with a 1.50 ERA and 0.75 WHIP on the season.
Analysis: Nova continued his impressive start to the season, which includes walking just one batter over 36 innings, tossed his second complete game in three starts.

Apr. 23 2:50 PM PT3:50 PM MT4:50 PM CT5:50 PM ET17:50 ET21:50 GMT5:50 2:50 PM MST4:50 PM EST5:20 PM VEN1:50 UAE (+1)4:50 PM CT-Facing his former team for the first time, Nova defeated the Yankees on Sunday by yielding one run on four hits and a walk and striking out seven over seven strong innings.
