Duffy went seven innings for the first time since Aug. 4 and gave up four runs while walking two and striking out seven. Medlen got rocked for seven runs and 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings during Friday night's 12-1 loss.
"I felt like I threw the ball well, but I thought [catcher] Drew [Butera] called a great game," Duffy said. "It's a shame that we have to take an 'L' when he called that good a game. ... I was happy with the way I competed, just not happy with the results."
Duffy was cruising along into the fourth when he walked Jose Abreu and Avisail Garcia smoked a grounder back at him.
