Detroit Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd pitched well Sunday afternoon, keeping the heart of the Chicago Cubs' lineup — Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez — to a minimum through six innings. The trio finished 1-for-9 with five strikeouts against Boyd.
But Cubs righty Kyle Hendricks was better.
The Tigers (14-26) couldn't snap Hendricks out of his rhythm and were handed a 5-1 loss in the series finale at Comerica Park. The Cubs won two of three games. On Sunday, the Tigers' offense produced eight hits, zero walks and nine strikeouts. Defensively, Niko Goodrum and Harold Castro made errors.
