The last .400 hitter? Ted Williams, who hit .406 for Boston in 1941. In the NL, Bill Terry of the New York Giants hit .401 in 1930.
Kennedy, 23, is a 6-4, 235-pound lefty from the San Diego area and a product of a Rays scouting system that is aggressively combing the Southwest for young talent. He is scheduled to start again Wednesday night at home against Minnesota.
