Matt Boyd got the start as he tried to extend his strong start streak, but did not succeed. His stuff was flat and Boyd was hit hard by the Twins. Boyd finished with a line of 3.2 IP, 8 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 2 K.
The Tigers offense also did not help Boyd stay competitive in the game. They threatened in the first, fourth, and seventh, but could not push across runs. Kyle Gibson made his third strong start out of the last four against the Tigers. He went 8 innings, surrendering 1 earned run on 5 hits with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts.
