Royals LH Danny Duffy (2016: 12-3, 3.51 ERA) vs. Twins RH Ervin Santana (2016: 7-11, 3.38)
Though he struggled in his first appearance against the Twins, Duffy allowed just one run in 6 2/3 frames the last time he faced them, ultimately failing to decide in the matchup however.
Santana will likely have his hands full with Eric Hosmer, who owns a .348 average with three homers and 11 RBIs against the veteran.
