Left-hander Matthew Boyd had a strong start, but the Detroit Tigers allowed four runs in the sixth inning and fell to the Cleveland Indians, 6-1, on Saturday at Progressive Field.
Boyd allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 5 u2153 innings. But he walked the leadoff hitter in the sixth and left with runners on first and second after Carlos Santana lined out.
