The Sunday Night Baseball game of the week will take place from Camden Yards when the Baltimore Orioles welcome the New York Yankees for the final game of their weekend series. The first place Orioles will be looking to move one step closer to clinching the division and will send right-hander Chris Tillman (12-5) to the mound to take on right-hander Hiroki Kuroda (10-9).

Kuroda is nearing the end of his third season in the Bronx. Overall with the Yankees, he is 37-33 and in his career, is 78-79. He will be looking to get back to .500 for his career when he takes on the Baltimore team he has faced countless times. In his career against current members of the Orioles, he has allowed 64 hits in 261 at-bats with 7 home runs allowed. He won't have to face the only player with multiple home runs as Chris Davis was recently suspended by Major League Baseball. Kuroda has still had his problems with others including Adam Jones, Kelly Johnson, and Matt Wieters.

Tillman's performance this season has been a welcomed one for the Orioles. He has a 3.36 ERA and is currently sporting a 1.23 WHIP and .235 BAA. The 26-year-old has been remarkable as of late, winning 5 straight decisions and hasn't lost since July 12. The Orioles haven't lost one of his starts since July 23. Against the Yankees in his career, Tillman has allowed 49 hits in 181 at-bats with 6 home runs.
