Duda over his head
Jerry Manuel keeps inserting him into the lineup, but outfielder Lucas Duda is 1-for-20 with nine strikeouts since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo.
To illustrate the gap between the minors and majors, Duda hit .314 with 17 homers and 53 runs batted in just half a season for the Bisons, where he was named the team's MVP. During one stretch, Duda homered in five straight games.
