Duffy has posted a 0.39 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB in 23 innings through his first four starts this year. He'll attempt to remain effective on the road against Minnesota on Saturday.

Shines again in second win Duffy (2-0) earned the win against the Angels on Tuesday, tossing six innings and allowing one run on eight hits and one walk while striking out six.
Impact Duffy wasn't quite as impressive as in his first start of the campaign when he yielded only two hits over six frames, but he maneuvered around a steady stream of baserunners Tuesday to escape with another victory. The southpaw hung around for six innings and 100 pitches to pick up his second straight quality start. The only run against him came on a fifth-inning home run off the bat of Shohei Ohtani. Duffy has yielded only a single run across 12 innings so far this season. He'll look to continue his strong start Sunday at home against Toronto.

Hurls six strong frames in win Duffy (1-0) picked up the win Monday against Cleveland after surrendering two hits and three walks while striking out five over six scoreless innings.
Impact Duffy turned in a quality start in his 2021 debut, and the Kansas City bullpen sealed the deal with three scoreless frames to secure the shutout. The lefty fired 58 of 97 pitches for strikes and retired 10 batters on flyouts compared to just two on groundouts. It was a positive sign to see Duffy on top of his game in his first regular-season outing after taking a comebacker in the leg during his last spring start. He'll search for his second win of the year in his next scheduled start Monday against the Angels.

Starting Monday Duffy (leg) is slated to start Monday's game at Cleveland.
Impact Duffy exited his final start of spring training March 25 after being hit in the upper leg by a comebacker, but he looks like he'll be ready to take the hill for the Royals' fourth game of the regular season. While the lefty struck out more than a batter per inning last season for the first time since 2016, he supported a 9.1 K/9 with a poor 4.95 ERA (4.75 FIP) and 1.33 WHIP.
