Danny Duffy almost never missed a game when he was recovering from Tommy John surgery. Sometimes he'd be watching on TV from the team's spring training complex in Arizona. Other times, he'd be watching on television between rehab starts at some minor league outpost. He finally made his return on Wednesday night and labored through 3 2/3 innings against the Minnesota Twins. He left with the Royals trailing by a run, but this time had a front-row seat to watch as his scrappy bunch of teammates clawed their way back for a 5-2 victory.
