EDGE Analysis

Duffy completed at least seven innings of work for only the fourth time in 22 starts in 2015 and his 103 pitches (of which 66 were strikes) were the second-highest number he has thrown in an appearance all season. He had his generally solid performance done in by two long balls, with Alexi Ramirez's three-run dinger in the fourth inning especially doing damage. After a recent five-start stretch during August in which Duffy did not surrender a single round-tripper, the 26-year-old southpaw has now surrendered at least one gopher ball in consecutive starts and three overall in his last 12 innings.
