Yankees: Who do you think is April’s MVP
The New York Yankees continue to grind up wins, as they beat the Blue Jays in the Bronx last night with a score of 5-3. Hiroki Kuroda was on the bump and struggled out of the gate, as he gave up two homers, which lead to three runs on the board from the get-go. Kuroda still managed to throw [...]
