The Yankees took the first game of their day-night doubleheader this afternoon by a final score of 6-4, as the Yankee offense finally showed some signs of life. Collectively, they scored six runs on eight hits. Hiroki Kuroda gave them a solid outing and picked up his seventh win of the season.

Kuroda allowed two runs on eight hits in six and two thirds innings of work. He struck out two and walked one. He finished his outing with 107 pitches throw, in which 69 of them were for strikes.

The Yankee offense struck first in the second inning when Lyle Overbay doubled in a pair to make it 2-0. Ichiro would later make it a 3-0 game in the sixth inning with a three-run home run.

The Yankees would go on to score three more runs in the seventh inning. Vernon Wells reached on a fielding error, which scored Jayson Nix, and then Ichiro singled home a pair with a bloop single to left field.

Mariano Rivera came on in the ninth and struck out Yasiel Puig to end the ballgame.

The Yankees and Dodgers will play the second game of the doubleheader tonight.
