Now Leads KC Minor Leaguers
Salem, VA - The Wilmington Blue Rocks knocked off the Salem Red Sox Wednesday night 8-4 in a Carolina League contest. More important DANNY DUFFY racked up his fifth victory of the season.
How is that so significant, you ask?
Because Duffy’s five victories rank No. 2 in the Carolina League and No.1 among all the Kansas City Royals minor leaguers.
Duffy, now 5-1, gave up four hits and a couple of runs in the fourth but he struck out Matt Sheely to minimize damage and strand a pair of runners. He allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings, walking two and striking out five. It was a workmanlike performance that allowed him to depart with a 7-3 lead.
Duffy’s statistics show a 3.43 earned run average, up a bit thanks to those three Salem runs, 37 hits allowed in 42 innings, and a strikeout to walk ratio of 41-12—all blue chip.
Salem is a Boston Red Sox affiliate. Duffy is ranked Kansas City’s sixth best prospect according to Baseball America.
