Ivan Nova cruises past Red Sox

Yankees pitcher Ivan Nova enjoyed a dominant outing and picked up his second win of the season Sunday night against the Red Sox.

Nova (2-1) yielded a run-scoring single to Jonathan Herrera in the second and a solo home run to Mike Napoli in the sixth. He permitted two runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out four over 7 1/3 innings pitched.

Nova has allowed 11 runs over 16 2/3 innings pitched through his first three starts. He'll look for win No. 3 on the year Saturday against Tampa Bay.
