Hiroki Kuroda pitched seven strong innings, David Robertson allowed nothing in the eighth inning, Mariano Rivera gave up a single hit in the ninth, and the Yankees squeak by the Orioles 2-1. Two good starts in a row by New York pitchers gives the back of the bullpen a needed breather and moves the Yankees 1/2 game behind the Orioles, and maybe 1/2 game out of first place depending on the outcome of the Rays game. New York fans would love to see this pitching trend continue.
