Via ESPN:

Kuroda (10-7, 2.45 ERA) hasn't pitched in Yankee Stadium since throwing five innings in a 2-0 victory over Minnesota on July 12. He is 6-2 with a 1.74 ERA in 10 starts in the Bronx.

New York (59-57) was within 1 1/2 games of the second AL wild card at that point, but that deficit is now seven. Alex Rodriguez has also returned, going 5 for 19 in five games and hitting his first home run since coming back in a 5-4 victory over Detroit on Sunday.

Kuroda enters with a home scoreless innings streak of 13 2/3 and has gone 2-1 with a 1.61 ERA in his last four outings -- all on the road. He yielded three runs over seven innings of a 3-2 defeat to the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.

The right-hander has been plagued by one of the worst run support averages in baseball at 3.38.

"He has pitched extremely well and he should have a lot more than 10 wins," manager Joe Girardi said.

Kuroda is 2-1 with a 2.67 ERA in five career starts against Los Angeles (53-63), with Mike Trout going 2 for 4 against him.

Trout is a career .391 hitter in 11 games against New York, going 7 for 14 with four doubles and four stolen bases as the Angels lost two of three last season at Yankee Stadium. He was 5 for 10 with five walks as Los Angeles took two of three at home from the Yankees from June 14-16.

The Angels will try to recover from Sunday's 6-5 loss at Cleveland in which they blew a five-run lead in the sixth inning. They missed a chance to sweep a three-game set and have dropped 11 of 16.

"If we're going to have success, we have to hold leads," manager Mike Scioscia said. "It does point to a weakness on our ballclub."
