Detroit Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd was perfect through four innings, thanks to ditching his slider and leaning heavily on his changeup and curveball.
He was taking another step forward in a return from early-season troubles, but the Cleveland Indians got to him for three runs in the fifth inning, and then two more in the sixth.
Boyd didn't recover, and the offense didn't help much, until late.
The Tigers (22-30) took a 7-4 loss to the Indians on Sunday at Comerica Park to complete the four-game series and their season series against the Indians.
