Danny Duffy has looked like the best Danny Duffy in the last few starts. For a Royals team that’s getting ready to unload some trade assets, that’s a very welcome sight.
Duffy rolled and got enough offense to carry the Royals, and then the bullpen barely, and I mean BARELY, hung on. The Royals opened their second half on a high note with a 6-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Kauffman Stadium. In a season that has been full of very few memorable moment, Friday night was a nice blast-from-the-past moment that felt like we were back in 2015.
