Once a touted prospect in the Yankees' system, Kennedy (4-3) was hammered by his original club for seven runs on five hits over 6.1 innings in Thursday's loss. He walked three and struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy had allowed just three homers in 38 innings coming into the start, but allowed three to the Bronx Bombers on Thursday. Overall, the 31-year-old has found success in his new home. Through seven starts, Kennedy has in quaint 3.25 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. His average fastball (91.7 mph) is the best of his career, and the same can be said for his ability to work out of jams as a full-time starter (76.7). Kennedy draws the league's top offense, the Red Sox, in his next outing on Tuesday in Kansas City.
