Shane Greene blows his first save of the season (on a grand slam, no less), the Tigers manage only two runs off 11 hits, another stellar Matthew Boyd outing is wasted, and Miami sweeps Detroit in Motown. Tigers lose, 5-2, extending their losing streak to nine, maybe, depending what the future holds.
Another day, another strong outing from Tigers ace Matthew Boyd. Boyd pitched six clean innings, allowing zero runs on five hits and zero walks while punching out seven. Boyd entered today with the second-highest fWAR in all of baseball (1.9), tied with five other pitchers, and today’s outing assuredly boosted that figure.
