Duffy's Rockiest Outing since April
DANNY DUFFY avoided his third loss of the Carolina League season Wednesday night thanks to the Wilmington Blue Rocks’ late inning batsmanship as they overtook the Potomac Nationals 7-5 in 10 innings at Potomac, Maryland.
Duffy departed after 5 2/3 innings trailing 5-2 and remained on the hook for the loss until the end.
His evening began more or less as usual— successful in other words.
Duffy gave up a run in the first inning but it was unearned after a batter reached base on an infield error. Then the Lompoc lefty sailed through the second, third and fourth allowing a single in each frame but easily escaping harm. He picked the runner off base in two of those innings.
But in the fifth a double and a home run, only the fifth roundtripper Duffy has allowed this season, messed up the scenario.
And in the sixth three singles loaded the bases with two outs. Duffy gave way to reliever Zach Peterson who gave up an RBI single and an error gave Potomac its fifth run.
Duffy’s three earned runs allowed on nine hits represented his rockiest outing since April 26 when he gave up six earned runs in five innings at Winston-Salem.
Still, his earned run average rose only to 2.89, he did not incur a loss, and his strikeout to walk ratio (66-20) remains impressive as he fanned six and walked none.
Potomac’s home run came off the bat of Aaron Seuss of Riverside. It was his first of the season. Seuss is batting only .229 The Nationals are affiliated with the Washington Nationals.
