Matheny says Duffy’s stuff was the best he’s seen, but Royals still lose

August 4, 2020 By Bill Pollock

Alec Mills outdueled Danny Duffy as the Cubs shut out the Royals 2-0 in Chicago. Mills allowed just three hits over seven innings to improve to 2-and-0 on the season. Rowan Wick got the final four outs for his second save. Javier Baez lofted a sac-fly in the fifth and Kris Bryant homered in the seventh to supply the Cubs’ offense. Chicago is 8-and-2 overall and 6-and-1 at home. Ryan O’Hearn doubled for the only extra-base hit for KC. The Royals fell to 3-and-8.

Duffy allowed one run in six frames to fall to 0-and-2 with the tough-luck loss.

Royals manager Mike Matheny said Duffy’s command of his fastball and changeup was the best he’s seen.

Duffy was happy with his outing and he worked out of a jam in the fifth inning when he loaded the bases with no outs. Duffy had walked a couple of batters, but got Anthony Rizzo to pop up. He gave up a run scoring fly out to Javier Baez and then retired Willson Contreras on a ground out to escape with just the one run allowed.
