BALTIMORE — With the Detroit Tigers reeling, losers of 12 of their last 13 games entering Tuesday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, it was time for Matthew Boyd to step up.
It was Boyd’s four-inning start against the Astros on May 13 that started the slide, and he was unable to stop it in his next two starts against the Athletics and Marlins, though he did all he could on May 23, throwing six scoreless innings.
