I was at Yankee Stadium when Nova was up 5-0 and the O's won 11-5 (Crush grand slam). And he was a more effective pitcher back then.

BTW, I expect OFFNY to log in soon with more details of that game. He always does when I mention it (because he was there)!

Yes, I was there, in the upper deck in rightfield.

In that game, the Yankees scored 5 runs on the bottom off of the 1st inning off of Orioles starter Chris Tillman, whom we later found out had been ailing with the flu. At that point, a Yankee fan looked at me, smiled, and said, "What's the matter, Oriole Fan ??? Why are you so quiet ???"

Immediately afterward in the next half inning, the Orioles came right back and scored 7 runs, punctuated by Chris Davis' grand-slam home run.

The ailing Tillman gutted out 4 more shutout innings in spite of the flu that he was battling, the Orioles' offense scored 4 more times, and what looked like an almost insurmountable 5-run lead for the Yankees in the 1st inning turned into an 11-5 rout for the Orioles.
