Adcock Get Shelled, Duke Goes Today

1

Nate Adcock had a tough second start last night going 2.2IP, 8H, 7ER with 2 homers allowed. I'm not rooting particularly hard for Adcock to succeed or fail and possibly come back to us, but I think this line is not at all surprising. The Royals are using him as a starter because they need bodies to fill the role at the moment. He was effective in his first start last Saturday but also lucky. Lots of balls were hit hard, just right at guys. Zach Duke makes his season debut for Arizona today. UPDATE:The Royals are moving Adcock back to the bullpen after Friday's loss.
