Detroit Tigers observations: Matthew Boyd commands Twins in Game 1 victory, 8-2

For the first time in two days, the Detroit Tigers took the field for a baseball game.

Set to open a four-game series from Thursday through Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, the two teams boycotted their game Thursday to protest racial inequality, and Friday's doubleheader was postponed due to inclement weather.

But the Tigers finally got back in action and didn't disappoint in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, earning an 8-2 win in seven innings against the Twins (20-13) at Comerica Park behind a four-hit outing from left-hander Matthew Boyd.
