Five days ago, Hiroki Kuroda opened the Bronx portion of the Yankees’ schedule with a bang, shutting out the Angels over eight-plus innings. Tonight he gets the much less hyped Twins, who have put up a nice little fight over the first two games of the series. You can’t expect Kuroda to repeat his last start tonight, but gosh darn it, I sure hope he does. Here’s the starting nine…
SS Derek Jeter
CF Curtis Granderson
1B Mark Teixeira
2B Robinson Cano
DH Nick Swisher
RF Raul Ibanez — oh boy
3B Eric Chavez
C Russell Martin
LF Brett Gardner
RHP Hiroki Kuroda
Tonight’s game starts at 7:05pm ET and can be seen on YES. Enjoy.
Update: Brett Gardner is a late scratch will right elbow soreness. Andruw Jones is playing left field
