Hiroki Kuroda and the Yankees shut down the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night by limiting them to just one run. Kuroda pitched 7 innings of 4 hit ball. He allowed 1 run and struck out 3. He also walked 1.

Eric Chavez lead the Yankees offense tonight with his 2 run home run that counted as the Yankees only runs of the game.

David Robertson came on in the 8th inning and struck out the side.

Mariano Rivera was summoned in the 9th and got a game ending double play started by Derek Jeter. He notched his 5th save of the season.

Game 2 between these two teams will take place tomorrow.
