No happy ending for Boyd, again, Tigers take it on the chin

Minneapolis — It didn’t end well for Matthew Boyd. But then again, that’s kind of his thing.

Inexplicably, Boyd has never pitched well in his final start of any season since putting on a Tigers’ uniform. Wednesday was no exception.

The was tagged with six runs and eight hits (three home runs) in 3 2/3 innings in the Tigers’ 11-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Here’s the sad litany of season-ending starts for Boyd:

•2015 at Texas, six runs on seven hits (three home runs) in 2 2/3 innings.

•2016 against the Royals, he faced five batters and didn’t record an out, four runs.
