Six days ago Danny Duffy stood at his locker at Kauffman Stadium and shouldered the loss in a no-decision. It was his fault, he said, that the Royals hadn’t won any of his starts to that point.
“We could easily be 6-4,” Duffy said. “That’s a teller.”
For the first time in this young, weather-beaten season, Duffy could not take any blame for a Royals loss.
On Tuesday night at Rogers Centre, in the second game of a doubleheader borne of ice-induced roof damage, Royals reliever Brian Flynn was dealt the L in the Blue Jays’ 5-4 walk-off victory in 10 innings.
