Detroit – Matthew Boyd, the ace of the Tigers’ rotation, has allowed 32 home runs this season, which is tied for third-most in the American League.
On Saturday, for the second time this week, he will be battling a Minnesota Twins team that went into play Friday six home runs shy of the Major League record for home runs in a season (261). They have seven players with at least 20 home runs. They’ve hit four off Boyd in two starts.
So, Matthew Boyd, knowing that, does it change your approach against them?
“Not really,” he said.
