Coming into game number 33 of the season, the Tigers have done about as well as anyone could have expected, thanks to some rather unexpected contributions by the pitching staff. Leading the way has been Matthew Boyd and his phenomenal breakout performance that has him featured as one of the top pitchers in baseball.
Boyd currently sits on the top 10 leaderboard in several categories among major league starters.
With the Tigers’ ace taking to the mound on Wednesday in Detroit against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim — possibly the worst alliterative team name ever — they evened the home series against their west coast nemesis with an emphatic 10-3 victory.
