Matthew Boyd spins slider, Tyler Nevin homers again in Detroit Tigers' 10-3 win over Orioles

LAKELAND, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles, 10-3, on Thursday at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium.

The Tigers improved to 3-3 in Grapefruit League play.

What happened

Left-hander Matthew Boyd, entering his first full season since undergoing flexor tendon surgery at the end of the 2021 campaign, felt healthy coming off the mound after two innings in his first spring training game.

Boyd, who returned to the Tigers on a one-year contract this offseason, looked sharp in the Old English "D" against the Orioles, despite allowing one run. He gave up a solo home run to catcher Adley Rutschman, one of the best young players in baseball, in the first inning.
