The good news is that young Mr. Nova picked up his first major league victory as the winning pitcher in the Yanks’ 2-1 win over the White Sox on Sunday. He pitched really well, going 5 2/3 innings, giving up only one run and striking out 7. He’s been good enough (actually, he’s been VERY good) to get another starting assignment, probably next weekend against Toronto. Congrats, Ivan!!
However, in bad news, he and minor-league teammate Wilkin de la Rosa (another Dominican student that I taught) are being investigated by Major League Baseball for injecting B12 while they were together in the minors. B12 is not a banned substance, but anytime you hear about players injecting anything, then suspicions are raised as to whether that was all they were injecting. Hopefully, this story will amount to nothing. Here’s a New York Post article about it. More later.
