EDGE Analysis

Making his first start in 17 days after recovering from a hamstring injury, Kennedy allowed a pair of two-run home runs in the first inning and another run in the second on an RBI double from Brian Dozier. He was made to pay for each walk he issued in his short time on the mound as all three men came around to score. Kennedy toiled to the tune of 54 pitches to record just six outs, showing obvious signs of rust after missing multiple turns through the rotation. He had enjoyed a strong start to the season prior to the injury, but nine earned runs over his last 6.1 innings has sent his ERA skyward nearly two runs to 4.06. Things will not get any easier as a matchup with the Indians is scheduled for Friday.
