The Yankees not only lost the finale against the Orioles by a score of 6-3, but they might have lost their number two starter for an extended period of time. Kuroda exited the game in the third inning after allowing two straight hits. He was previously hit in the right calf by a line drive in the second inning. As of now, he is expected to make his next start, but by the way this season has gone in relation to injuries, nothing is guaranteed.
Kuroda allowed five runs on eight hits in two innings of work. He struck out none and did not walk a batter. He finished his outing with 55 pitches thrown, in which 35 of them were for strikes. Kuroda was knocked around a bit in the first inning as he allowed two home runs, which put the Yankees in an early hole.
The Yankee offense only scored three runs in the loss. Robinson Cano drive in the first run in the third inning with a single to center field, which score Curtis Granderson. The two other runs came on solo shots from Granderson and David Adams.
The Yankees will enjoy an off day tomorrow before beginning a three game set against the Rays in Florida.
