Skaggs is 1-1 in three starts versus Kansas City, allowing one run and striking out 22 in 21 frames.

• Duffy made a rehab start for Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Saturday, allowing an unearned run and four hits with seven strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings on 78 pitches – 50 for strikes. “I’m excited to throw and be back in the big leagues because it feels like it’s been a long time,” the 30-year-old Californian, who had last pitched March 24 during spring training, told reporters. Trout is 6-for-14 with a home run and three walks while Albert Pujols is 2-for-15 against Duffy, who is 2-1 with a 4.06 ERA in six games (five starts) versus the Angels.
