Kennedy took the loss on Friday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out two in 4.1 innings against the Rangers. Home runs doomed Kennedy yet again -- he gave up back-to-back homers to Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre in the fourth inning. Kennedy has given up multiple homers in six of his 16 outings this season (20 total), and has now taken the loss in each of his last four starts. His two strikeouts Friday matched a season low.
