KANSAS CITY -- If there was anything positive coming out of the Royals' 6-0 loss to the Indians on Friday night, it was another solid relief outing from left-hander Danny Duffy.
The Royals are trying to determine the type of relief role Duffy, who had been a starter until recently, could have in the postseason. Manager Ned Yost has said he would like to be able to use Duffy in high-leverage situations late in games.
After tossing four shutout innings in a blowout win last Sunday, Duffy came into Friday's game with two runners on and one out in the seventh, with the heart of the Indians' order up.
