Matt Boyd hurt by one bad pitch, Tigers' rally falls short in 3-2 loss

Matt Boyd threw 102 pitches on Wednesday night.

Sixty-six were thrown for strikes. The vast majority were located well. He was mixing and matching with his pitches, leaning on a key change-up and pitching with a purpose against the Cleveland Indians. But there was that one pitch.

It came in the top of the fourth inning, a fastball meant for the inside corner that ran onto the outer edge, a pitch Jose Ramirez tattooed into the right-centerfield gap for a two-run triple.

“I want one pitch back,” Boyd said. “The one to Ramirez.”

Centerfield Tyler Collins tried his mightiest to bring it back, making a dead sprint dive at the ball, but came up inches short.
