The Yanks are only 4 back in the wildcard race but they have to start winning some games soon.
Kuroda took the loss his last time out Sunday, allowing three runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings to the Indians, with four walks. The Yankees gave him 2 extra days rest this turn, hoping to get him back on track. He also loves pitching during the day so this day start should help boost his confidence.
