Friday evening, the Toronto Blue Jays will give the ball to Mark Buehrle as they square off against the New York Yankees and Hiroki Kuroda. Both pitchers will be making their 21^st starts of the season.

Mark Buehrle pitched to his 2^nd straight no-decision the last time out and that held his record at 10 - 6 with a 2.86 ERA. In that outing, Buehrle gave up 5 runs and 8 hits in 6 innings. He walked 3 and struck out 5. It was the latest in a string of shaky starts for the pitcher that hasn't won a game since the beginning of June. After a hot start, Buehrle has cooled down but still has a chance to better his record from last season when he went 12 - 10 with a 4.15 ERA in 33 starts.

In 2013, Buehrle was 0 - 2 with a 5.04 ERA in 4 starts against the Yankees. This season, he is 0 - 1 in back-to-back starts against New York.

Hiroki Kuroda added a 2^nd straight no-decision in his last outing and that froze his record at 6 - 6 with a 3.88 ERA. His last time out, Kuroda gave up just a run on 3 hits in 6.2 innings as he walked 2 and struck out 6. Kuroda will look to avoid the same type of collapse this season that he experienced in the 2^nd half of last season as he finished with a record of 11 - 13 and an ERA of 3.31 in 32 starts.

In 2013, Kuroda was 2 - 2 with a 3.34 ERA in 5 starts against Toronto. This season, he beat the Blue Jays in his only other start against them.
