Royals’ Danny Duffy throws wild pitch during intentional walk

Generally speaking, when you’re a pitcher, it’s not a good sign when the Associated Press writes a news brief about a single pitch you throw. But they did yesterday for Royals starter Danny Duffy when the 22-year-old chucked a wild pitch for ball four while intentionally walking the Tigers’ Victor Martinez. Miguel Cabrera scampered to third on the pitch. We can all hang our heads and console ourselves with the knowledge that there are only 24 more games this season.
