The Yankees host those pesky Rays today as Hiroki Kuroda makes his first exhibition start for the Yankees. Even though I don't expect him to be in mid-season form, it will be great to finally see him throw some pitches. Check out some of his outings from last year on MLB.com Video to get an idea of how he pitches if you can't watch the action today!
The game will air at 1:05 on YES Network and MLB.tv. Here are the lineups and further information, courtesy of LoHud.
