Duffy dominant as Royals beat Darvish, Rangers 3-1 (Yahoo Sports)

Danny Duffy scattered four hits while pitching into the seventh inning, the Royals scratched out three runs off the Rangers' Yu Darvish, and Kansas City beat Texas 3-1 on Friday night to open their three-game series. The only run Duffy (6-1) allowed came on Rougned Odor's homer in the fourth inning. Luke Hochevar wiggled out of Duffy's jam to end the seventh, Kelvin Herrera pitched a perfect eighth and Wade Davis worked around a two-out single in the ninth for his 21st save.
