Danny Duffy’s ERA was never going to be 0.39 all year long. We all knew that even if no one wanted to really admit it. It sure has been fun to watch, though. And so, as we all expected, his ERA went up today.
All the way to 0.60.
Duffy pitched a season-high seven innings and allowed only a single run - a solo homer to Alex Kirilloff, his third of his career and of the series. Duffy struck out seven and even more impressive allowed a mere two hits. He did walk three, but two of those walks included balls called by the home plate umpire that appeared to be in strike zone overlay on BSKC.
