The Yankees were unable to defeat the Tigers on Sunday as they were blanked 3-0. The Yankeeso ffense continued to struggle as they were only able to collect four hits.

Hiroki Kuroda started for the Yankees and he was oustanding. Kuroda allowed 3 runs on 5 hits in 7 2/3 innings of work. He struck out 11 batters and did not issue a free pass. Kuroda began the night by striking out five batters out of the first six. Kuroda finished his outing with 103 pitches thrown, in which 69 of them were for strikes.

The Yankee bullpen struggled a bit tonight as Boone Logan, Joba Chamberlain, and Clay Rapada could not record an out. Cody Eppley worked 1 1/3 innings of one hit ball. He struck out 2 and did not walk any.

The Yankee offense continued to struggle as they could not muster any runs tonight. As a team, they were able to collect four hits and were 0-for-5 with runners on scoring position. In addition to that poor number, they stranded seven runners on base.

The Yankees will travel to Detroit and will play Game 3 on Tuesday.
