Notches his Eighth Win
DANNY DUFFY won a memorable duel against rehabbing major leaguer Tim Hudson Thursday night and in so doing racked up his eighth victory of the season in a 5-3 win over Myrtle Beach.
Duffy allowed just one earned run in six and two-thirds innings while his Wilmington mates touched Hudson, preparing for a return to the Atlanta Braves after Tommy John surgery, for five hits and three earned runs in two and two-thirds.
Duffy gave up only five singles and one base on balls while striking out five.
In the fourth inning, after the Blue Rocks drove Hudson to the showers, Duffy saw his scoreless string of 13 innings over three games marred by a walk and two singles to score a run. Duffy kept his composure however and induced a ground ball double play to end the inning.
In the fifth the Pelicans scored again, unearned, this on a bunt and two throwing errors, one by Duffy.
Duffy’s earned run average improved to 3.26, fifth best in the Carolina League, and his strikeout to walk ratio to 92-30. The 92 K’s rank #3 in the CL. His eight wins rank #2.
Still only 20 years old, Duffy is at least a full year younger than the four pitchers ahead of him on the league ERA chart and the two with more strikeouts, and two years younger than the one ahead of him in wins.
