Minneapolis – The hits just keep on coming for the Tigers.
And by hits, we mean kidney punches.
Left-hander Matthew Boyd, who has been the Tigers most consistent starting pitcher this season, left the game with what the Tigers diagnosed as a left oblique spasm in the fifth inning.
BOX SCORE: Twins 6, Tigers 0
The game was scoreless at that point and Boyd had allowed just one hit – an infield single to Logan Morrison on a ball third baseman Niko Goodrum double-clutched before throwing late to first. But, Boyd uncharacteristically also walked four batters, including the first two in the fifth.
