Duffy dazzles in 10-K effort to halt Royals’ skid

Danny Duffy put the Royals on his back to end the club’s six-game losing streak, throwing seven scoreless innings and fanning 10 A’s. He was nearly matched by Chris Bassitt, making a spot start in his first MLB appearance in more than two years. Paulo Orlando hit an RBI single in the second, and Alex Gordon launched a solo shot in the ninth to add an insurance run before Kelvin Herrera closed it out.
