The Yankees were defeated in the opener of this 2 game set with the Toronto Blue Jays 8-1.

Hiroki Kuroda was hit hard by the Blue Jays bats as he suffered his 5th loss of the season. Kuroda allowed 7 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings pitched. He struck out 6 and walked 2. Kuroda suffered from the long ball as he allowed 3 home runs tonight.

The Yankees were only able to score 1 run tonight and that was by a Mark Teixeira single in the 6th inning.

Derek Jeter was out of tonight's lineup as Joe Girardi had decided to give the captain the day off.

The Yankees and Blue Jays will conclude this short series tomorrow.
