After a split of the first two games in Baltimore, Game 3 of the Division Series was a big one. The division champion Yankees sent the reliable Hiroki Kuroda to the mound facing off against the Cinderella story of baseball in 2012: the Wild Card-winning Orioles. It was a game that would swing the series, one that featured surprising managerial moves, huge homers, and some excellent pitching throughout.
Final Score: Yankees 3, Orioles 2
Game MVP: Raúl Ibañez
This was the first year in the Bronx for Kuroda, and he did an excellent job.
