Kennedy (6-7) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings, but received no decision Friday at the Tigers.
Kennedy gave up a lead-off homer to Ian Kinsler, but then blanked the Tigers until his departure after reaching the 100-pitch mark with one out in the sixth inning. Although he left the game with a 1-0 lead, the Royals' offense got him off the hook for a potential loss by scoring a pair of runs in the sixth inning. He's now held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in three of his last four starts, and his ERA is at 3.86 on the year. He'll make his next start Wednesday against the Indians.
