Duffy met the minimum standard for a quality start Wednesday, allowing three runs in six innings in a no-decision against the Angels. He struck out five while allowing seven hits and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy's been quietly piling up the quality starts lately, notching five in his last six games. Even so, not all those starts have been impressive; Duffy can thank the Royals for keeping him without a loss since June 6. That's not to say the lefty doesn't deserve credit for the fantasy package he's offered this year -- more than a strikeout per inning along with strong ratios.
