The Yankees were given a great start by Hiroki Kuroda on Sunday night as they defeated the Orioles 3-0. With his shutout tonight, Hiroki Kuroda has notched his fifth career shutout. In 2012, Kuroda collected two shut outs in his first year with the Yankees.

Kuroda allowed no runs on five hits in nine innings of work. He struck out five batters and did not issue a walk. He finished his outing with 113 pitches thrown, in which 79 of them were strikes.

Hiroki Kuroda located most of his pitches down in the zone tonight. He rarely gave the Orioles anything good to hit as he kept the ball down in the zone. His groundouts to flyouts ratio showed it as he produced a 18-3.

Brett Gardner powered the Yankee offense, literally, as he belted a long two-run shot that hit high off the right field foul pole. Prior to his at-bat, Jayson Nix drove in Brennan Boesch with his sacrifice fly to right field.

The Yankees will enjoy an off-day tomorrow and they will prepare to begin a three game set with the Diamondbacks, which will begin on Tuesday.

The Yankees were able to win the opener of their three game set against the Orioles on Friday by a final score of 5-2. During the game the Yankees made some more history as they spun the first ever 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play.

C.C. Sabathia started for the Yankees and he was outstanding. Sabathia allowed two runs on eight hits in eight innings of work. He struck out nine and walked only one batter. Sabathia exited the game with 102 pitches thrown, in which 74 of them were for strikes. Although his velocity was down again, he was able to get hitters out with his nasty changeup.

The Yankee offense caught a break in the seventh inning when Vernon Wells laced a ball to center field with the bases loaded in a 2-2 game. It seemed as if Adam Jones would catch the ball, but it hit the heel of his glove and fell to the ground. With that huge error, the Yankees took a 5-2 lead and would not look back.

Mariano Rivera would come on in the ninth and shut the door to earn his second save of the season.

The Yankees and Orioles will continue their three game set tomorrow afternoon.
