Duffy (1-0) pitched seven innings, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three Astros in Saturday's win.

EDGE Analysis

The Royals' ace could have gone another inning, but manager Ned Yost decided to make a change after the squad scored six runs in the top of the eighth. Duffy's performance wasn't nearly as good as his Opening Day start, but he did improve at keeping the ball on the ground as he induced nine groundouts Saturday. He'll take the bump for his next start at home Thursday against Oakland.
