SAN DIEGO -- Ivan Nova finally gets a chance to pitch at Petco Park Saturday night. Adoree Jackson Titans Jersey .He came close in 2009 when he spent spring training in the Padres camp as a Rule 5 draft pick. But just before the season started, the Padres elected to return Nova to the Yankees rather than keep the then 22-year-old on the major league roster for a full year.It is a decision the Padres have regretted.Nova was in the major leagues by the end of the 2010 season and has compiled a 44-41 record since.He makes his first start at Petco Park in the second contest of a three-game set between the Yankees and the Padres.The right-handed Nova, who is 5-5 with a 5.32 ERA in 16 games (10 starts) faces left-hander Drew Pomeranz (7-7, 2.76).Although he went into spring training battling Brandon Maurer for the No. 5 spot in the Padres rotation, Pomeranz has clearly become -- because of injuries to Tyson Ross and Andrew Cashner and the trade of James Shields to the Chicago White Sox -- the No. 1 starter in the Padres rotation.We didnt know what we really had with Drew until we saw his curve and started having him use it more, Padres manager Andy Green said. It is one of the best curves in the major leagues. Most pitchers work off their fastball. With Drew, its the breaking ball.Including his last start, Pomeranz has allowed zero earned runs in six of his first 15 starts and two or fewer in another four. Opposing hitters are batting .190 against Pomeranz, which is the third-best mark in the National League. Pomeranz also ranks sixth with 10.4 strikeouts per nine innings.I recently got away from some things that were working for me, said Pomeranz, who had allowed 11 runs in in 16 innings over three starts before allowing only three hits over seven shutout innings in his most recent start in Cincinnati on Sunday.Nova, 29, makes his 11th start of the season on Saturday after making his first six appearances of the season out of the bullpen. He has allowed at least three runs in each of his last seven starts after giving up just one run in each of his first three starts.Ivan has struggled recently, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. But the stuff is there. Weve seen it earlier this season and before. Like a couple other pitchers, we have to get him back on track.Nova last started June 27 against the Texas Rangers and allowed four runs on six hits over five innings. He didnt figure in the decision for only the second time in his last 34 starts.Nova has worked five or fewer innings in each of his last three starts after going at least six innings in five straight. Taywan Taylor Womens Jersey .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Taywan Taylor Titans Jersey . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. http://www.titansfansproshop.com/Black-Jonnu-Smith-Titans-Jersey.html?cat=977 . Speaking Thursday on TSN 1050 Thursday, the Leafs GM also touched on the questions surrounding the teams leadership and the struggles of his big-name free-agent signing. “Its not from lack of effort from the coaching staff. SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- The 1 p.m. tee time last Monday would have been no big deal otherwise. But it was in Switzerland. And for Henrik Stenson, it was the day after winning The Open.That was hard on no sleep, said Stenson, smiling.The occasion was a charity event for Sergio Garcia, one Stenson had long ago committed to and which attracted a slew of big-name players.But coming less than 24 hours after winning The Open in Scotland, the timing was not the greatest. Then it was home to Sweden for what was supposed to be a few days with the family, his golf clubs stored away.But having become the first Swedish male golfer to win a major championship, there were media demands that consumed quite a bit of time.Someone even told me they were broadcasting it live on radio, so I guess that shows the magnitude of the win, Stenson said. If they broadcast the whole thing on radio, national radio.A lot of interviews, a lot of media the first couple of days, but I still managed to spend some time with my family for a few days before coming over [to the U.S.] My signature has been pretty sought after since I touched base here in New York. Theres been a lot of signing these first couple of days out there.After shooting a final-round 63 at Royal Troon to win The Open by 3 strokes over Phil Mickelson, theres been a good bit of celebrating, and some traveling, but not much time for decompressing and assessing.Just 11 days after his career achievement, Stenson, 40, will go after major championship No. 2 on Thursday when the PGA Championship begins at Baltusrol. Its a quick turnaround without much time for reflection.Ive just got to get back into my game and pay attention to all the little things that are important to play good golf for me. Jonnu Smith Womens Jersey. Exactly how to do it ... I havent been in this situation before. So I guess weve got to make the best I can, and you live and you learn. And if we dont get it right, Im sure well figure out why we didnt get it right.Stenson, who is ranked fifth in the world, would love to build on the momentum that has come from his two recent victories. He won the BMW International Open in Germany last month and has had five other top-six finishes in 2016.I dont think Im going to sit back and just say, OK, that was it, Im finished, Stenson said. Its definitely the icing on the cake. If I look at my career, to win a major championship, that was pretty much the only thing I had not managed to achieve, and now I have that.But then at the same time, you can look ahead and then try and win another one. I think Ive got a good few years in me and Im going to try and keep on developing, and if you dont, these young guys are going to come up and take over. So I think Ive got a bit of fight in me.Although there has been little time, Stenson did say hes had a few celebrations with the Claret Jug that involved champagne. With so much golf in the immediate future -- PGA Championship, Olympics, FedEx Cup, Ryder Cup, the European Tours Race to Dubai -- he expects that to subside.There have been some memorable celebrations, he said. [But] I have it [the Claret Jug] for a year, so there might be a few more sips. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
