Matthew Boyd couldn't get through two innings.
The 32-year-old, who signed a one-year, $10 million contract in the offseason after pitching for the Seattle Mariners last season, walked four batters, struggled to control his pitches from the beginning of his outing and exited with one out in the second inning. He gave up six runs in the Detroit Tigers' 9-2 loss to the Mariners in Friday's series opener at Comerica Park.
Boyd has a 6.47 ERA in seven starts.
