Kuroda Improving as Weather Warms

DENVER- Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda went 8 innings for the third straight game as he continues to bounce back from the slow start that had hampered the team thus far this season. Kuroda went 8 innings while allowing 12 hits and 3 runs while striking out 9. He's 2-1 in his last 3 starts and has allowed 6 runs over 24.2 IP while striking out 18 batters. He has lowered his ERA to 5.98, down from the 10.89 ERA he held on April 23rd.

The Yankee bats were also hot yesterday, scoring 8 runs recording 14 hits after chasing Rockies Jorge De La Rosa after 3 innings. The offense was powered by 2 run homers by Robinson Cano (6) and Vernon Wells (3). Ichiro, Lyle Overbay, Kevin Youkilis and Lance Nix also had multi-hit games with Youk and Nix driving in runs as well. Nix, Cano and Overbay also accounted for 4 doubles.

The 15-20 Yankees will now travel to Kansas City for a 3-game set with the Royals before returning home to face Seattle and Toronto. The Yankees are currently in third place in the AL East and are 7.5 games back from the first place Blue Jays.
