Danny Duffy Earns Second Win On Friday
4 years agoKansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy turned in a solid outing on Friday against the Minnesota Twins, earning his second win to improve to 2-2 on the year. Duffy pitched five innings and allowed four hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out six. Through four starts in August, he has a 3.15 ERA with 10.8 K/9. Duffy has made some major strides in the strikeout department throughout the season with a strikeout rate of 28.3%, well above his 2019 clip of 20.7%. He's also allowed a barrel rate of just 5.3% this year compared to 7.5% last year. Duffy is owned in just about 20% of fantasy leagues right now and is definitely someone worth targeting if you need pitching help. His next start will be on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
