Kuroda was taken deep two more times Monday in a 6-0 loss to KC.
Advice: Kuroda allowed three runs, seven hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings, failing to retire the side in order in an inning and raising his ERA to 4.56. He is one of three Yanks to have yielded 10 jacks.

RHP Hiroki Kuroda allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings, taking his second loss to the Royals this season. Kuroda is the first Yankees pitcher to lose twice to Kansas City in a season since Andy Pettitte in 1999.

Kuroda suffered a loss Monday as the Yankees fell to the Royals, 6-0. He pitched 5.1 innings and allowed three runs, seven hits and three walks to go along with four strikeouts.
Recommendation: Kuroda is now 3-6 this season and his transition to the American League has been shaky. He has a 4.56 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, so he'll need to significantly cut down on the amount of base runners he is allowing if he is going to improve his overall numbers.
