The Yankees were able to split their four-game set with the Rangers on Sunday as they took the finale by a final score of 2-0.

Hiroki Kuroda started for the Yankees and he was outstanding once again as he quietly puts himself into the Cy Young race. Kuroda allowed no runs on six hits in seven innings of work. He struck out three and walked only one. He finished his outing with 100 pitches thrown, in which 61 of them were for strikes.

The Yankee offense was powered by Brent Lillibridge and Eduardo Nunez as both of them contributed with one run batted in each.

Mariano Rivera came on in the ninth inning and ended the game for the Yankees to collect his 33rd save of the season.

The Yankees will head back home to begin a three-game set with the Rays tomorrow night.
