Kennedy allowed just one unearned run on three hits and five walks with six strikeouts over six innings Monday against the Rays in a no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy picked up his first quality start in four outings, dating back to May 7 against Cleveland. The Rays used a patient approach, as they took 63 of his 107 pitches. They weren't able to make much of their few swings, as Kennedy didn't allow an extra-base hit. And he continues to miss bats -- he drew 11 swinging strikes, the seventh time in 10 starts he has gotten double-digit whiffs. He now owns a 3.03 ERA to go with his slick 59:23 K:BB in 59.1 innings.
