Danny Duffy turned in a solid performance in a win over the Yankees on Thursday, allowing two runs on six hits over his 5 1/3 innings of work. Duffy struck out six and walked two in his return to the Royals rotation. He had been skipped his last time through the rotation with a bit of elbow soreness, but seemed pain free in this outing and didn't complain of any soreness afterwards. He's now 2-2 on the season with a 3.57 ERA through his first four starts. He'll attempt to carry over the momentum from this start when he takes on the Red Sox on Tuesday.
