KURODA does his PART as YANKS leave Arlington with a much-needed "W"...MO gets much-deserved CURTAIN-CALL from RANGERS Nation...PALE HOSE send VERLANDER to Shower early..."GET AWAY" Day Thursdays Recap #1

The New York Yankees pulled a rabbit out the hat last night and then they ride Hiroki Kuroda's gem to a 2-0 shutout as the Mo rolled the credits. As the A-Rod Comedy plays out Kuroda went seven innings allowing six hits a free pass and struck out three Rangers. The Bombers didn't need much from the dish as Lillibridge and Nunez both had an RBI. In the loss Rangers RHP Derek Holland pitched well enough top win but obviously didn't get any run support. Holland went 7 1/3 allowing two runs on eight hits walking one and striking out two. The Yanks leave Texas still 4th in the AL East and 6 1/2 behind the AL East leading Carmines. The Rangers fall 3 1/2 back of the AL West leading A's as they have yet to play vs Halos later on tonight.

The Chicago White Sox might have the 3rd worst record in the Show but tell Tigers Ace RHP Justin Verlander who was lit up and hit the Showers way earlier than he is accustomed to. The Sox jumped on Verlander in Inning One and then after the Tigers tied up the game 2-2 in the top half of the 4th the Chi-Sox put up a crooked four in their half of the same inning going onto win 7-4. Verlander's Line was six innings allowing seven runs on eleven hits giving up a "Tater" to Sox young Stud Back Stop Tyler Flowers (Solo Bomb). The Sox Starter Jake Peavy who will most likely be done in Chi City as he is definitely a candidate to be moved at the Trade Deadline went seven giving up four runs on four hits as three of the four hits were souvenirs (Hunter 2-Run HR , Martinez Solo Shot, and Pena Solo Shot) and that's not good.  Tigers with the loss are just three up on the Tribe. The Pale Hose will be sellers and not buyers as the Trade Deadline looms. Names like Peavy, Rios, and Dunn have to be on a few teams wish list.
