Minneapolis – When it happens once, you know, no big deal. It happens twice, in successive starts, very strange but not unprecedented.
But a third time? In eight starts? What the heck is going on?
Matthew Boyd gave up back-to-back home runs to the first two batters in the game Friday, something the White Sox did against him in successive starts last month. And though he gave up nothing the rest of the way, it was enough to beat him and the Tigers, as the Twins took the first of two games 2-0.
