New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Dodgers
Post Game Recap
Final Score: Yankees 3 Dodgers 0
The New York Yankees were able to get
the victory on Wednesday night in Los Angeles against the Dodgers
with some late-inning heroics, and a big mistake by the Dodgers. The
win for the Yankees gives them a split in the two-game series against
the red hot Dodgers, and moves them to (56-51), which is eight games
behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East.
Coming in to the game there was a lot
of hype for the pitching match-up between Hiroki Kuroda and Clayton
Kershaw, and they both brought their “A” games to the table.
Yankees Starter Hiroki Kuroda continued his great season, by pitching
seven shutout innings allowing just five hits, one walk, and had
eight strikeouts. Unfortunately for Kuroda his win/loss record does
not indicate that he has a 2.36 ERA on the season, which is second
best in the American League behind only Felix Hernandez.
