Jul 4 RHP Hiroki Kuroda finally issued a walk, to Everth Cabrera with two outs in the fifth, then issued his second walk in a span of three batters when he walked Tony Gwynn leading off the sixth. Before walking Cabrera, Kuroda had pitched 31 consecutive innings without walking a batter, which had been the longest active streak in the majors. He has now struck out 37 batters while walking only seven in 48 1/3 innings this season. Yahoo! Sports


Jun 24 Kuroda allowed two runs and four hits with nine strikeouts in 8 2-3 innings of the Dodgers' 5-2 win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Advice: Kuroda gave up only Paul Konerko's second-inning homer and Jermaine Dye's fourth-inning single until there were two outs in the ninth. Kuroda then allowed two more hits, including Dye's RBI single, before Jonathan Broxton earned his 18th save by striking out Jim Thome. "He was terrific as far as his command," manager Joe Torre said. "He's not going to beat you with his velocity. He's going to beat you with his location and movement. He was throwing a lot of strikes."
