The Tigers returned home for the first game of a six-game home stand, winning the first of a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners, 5-3. After having the day off Monday, the start of tonight’s game was delayed due to rain storms, with hail in some places, in the Detroit area.
Matthew Boyd started for the Tigers tonight, and there was some speculation in the preview that “Bad Boyd” was back. I thought I’d investigate this a little more, so I looked up the OPS that Boyd has allowed in each of the first three months of the last three complete seasons, taking 2020 out for obvious reasons.
