Via NBC San Diego  |  October 01, 2011
Ivan Nova will have to wait a bit longer for his first playoff start, but he has his first playoff gem under his belt.

Jim Leyland was concerned about Yankee pitcher Ivan Nova before Saturday night's game. It wasn't just that Nova came into game with 16 wins on the season. Or that he carried a respectable 3.70 ERA.

Yesterday: Yankees 9, Tigers 3 HERO When Game 1 resumed last night with both CC Sabathia and Justin Verlander on the bench, no one was sure how Ivan Nova would hold up. Just fine, as it turned out. The 24-year-old tossed 61/3 innings gave up two runs and saved...
