The Yankees' won their home opener yesterday thanks to an absolute gem by Hiroki Kuroda and a bomb by Alex Rodriguez.
Hiroki Kuroda allowed 0 runs on 5 hits over 8.0 innings. He struck out 6 and walked 2. He evened his record at 1-1.
Nick Swisher provided some offense in the bottom half of the first with a bases clearing double to center field. This gave them a 3-0 lead early on.
"I thought that was real important; you start a rally there with two outs and are able to three runs off a really good pitcher," Joe Girardi said. "Our guys were patient, took their walks, i thought that was important."
Alex Rodriguez looked good after moving to the 3 hole. He hit a solo home run in the 3rd and he had 3 hits in 4 at bats.
Curtis Granderson also went deep in the 5th to give the Yankees' a 5-0 lead. That was his second bomb of the year. He hit 41 last year.
The Yankees' will face C.J. Wilson tomorrow afternoon for game 2 of 3 against the Angels.
