Detroit – The image of Matthew Boyd dejectedly handing the ball to manager Ron Gardenhire and walking head-down off the field is becoming disturbingly common already this season.
There were positive moments, for sure, but in the end, Boyd, the Tigers’ ace, has an ERA over 10 after four starts.
He was tagged for four runs in the fifth inning, after the Tigers’ had rallied and taken a 5-3 lead, and the White Sox went on to beat the Tigers 7-5 and take the three-game series.
Boyd’s final line – seven runs, seven hits and three walks in 4.
