Seattle — It’s been a good weekend for Matthew Boyd.
He was back home with his family. He celebrated his daughter’s second birthday. And on Sunday, pitching back at the ballpark where he grew up rooting for Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson, he pitched another gem.
Boyd allowed a run and just three hits, with 10 strikeouts in 6.1 innings. But there would not be a 'W' next to his name in the box score.
The Mariners tied the game in the bottom of the eighth against Joe Jimenez, then they walked it off in the 10th against reliever Jose Cisnero — sweeping the four-game series from the Tigers, 3-2.
