CAREER NOTES

LAST START: Duffey did not factor into the decision in his last start September 14 at Detroit; he was skipped in the rotation for one start...tossed 3.2 innings, allowing six runs on eight hits with one walk and four strikeouts...left the game in the fourth inning with a runner on third and already having allowed three runs; J.T. Chargois came on in relief and gave up a RBI single to Miguel Cabrera, allowing the inherited runner to score...the six runs surrendered tied a season-high, which has been done six other times...did not give up a home run for the first time in five starts...threw 84 pitches, 57 strikes.
