Danny Duffy grew up a Dodgers fan and now gets to play for them after the Royals on Thursday traded him. On Sunday, his new teammates beat the Diamondbacks 13-0.
. But the Dodgers believe Duffy can be a key piece in their quest for a second straight World Series title.
“It’s awesome to think a team like this thinks I could bring something to the table that could potentially help,” said Duffy, a 2007 graduate of Lompoc Cabrillo High. “Whatever that looks like, I’m here for it.” Duffy, who mixes a 93-mph fastball with a slider, curve and changeup, is 4-3 with a 2.51 ERA in 13 games, with 65 strikeouts and 22 walks in 61 innings.He missed five weeks of May and June because of the flexor strain, returned to pitch six games and went back on the injured list July 20. He said he feels like he “turned a corner a little bit physically” last week and is confident he will return to full strength.
Duffy described the last four days as “a whirlwind,” saying farewell to the many teammates, coaches and team executives he grew so close to in Kansas City and meeting so many new faces with the Dodgers.
