Kennedy gave up two runs on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts over 3.1 innings in a no-decision Monday over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy's start was interrupted by a rain delay. Although he came out to pitch after the delay, Kennedy said a long inning after the delay in which the Royals scored four runs was a factor in his early exit. He had recovered well from a rough first inning which included a Joe Mauer home run and induced a whopping 13 swinging strikes in just 73 pitches. Given the obstacles Mother Nature threw at Kennedy in this start, it's best not to read too much into it.
