He was instead chased in the next inning when he got shelled. This made Duffy's second straight bad start, and facing a lineup as potent as Boston's didn't help him in any way. For now, he told reporters that his knee is fine and it wasn't an excuse, but it's not clea[...]

Three mound visits also occurred in that time, culminating in one right before Duffy had to face Joey Gallo with the bases loaded. Ga[...]
