The Yankees look to win the series tonight in Baltimore after dropping last night’s game in extra innings. New York has the right guy on the mound in Hiroki Kuroda, who is 4-1 with a 1.22 ERA in his last five starts following a Yankee loss. The lineup tonight has a different feel, as Brett Gardner rests and Curtis Granderson slides into the leadoff spot. The Yankees have a day off tomorrow before heading to Tampa Bay to take on the Rays for a weekend series.
