KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Danny Duffy has been pitching outstanding recently for the Kansas City Royals.
He threw seven scoreless innings, struck out eight and gave up four hits in a 5-0 victory at the Chicago White Sox last Saturday in his final start before the All-Star break. Duffy has not allowed a run in 13 innings, the second longest active streak in the American League.

Royals starter Duffy hopes to improve at home vs. Twins

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  The Minnesota Twins used an extra outfielder to try to stop Lucas Duda, but could not position their right fielder deep enough in the sixth inning.
Duda homered and drove in three runs, Danny Duffy earned his first home win in 11 months and the Kansas City Royals held on for a 6-5 victory over the Twins on Friday night.
