Detroit — Really, all Matthew Boyd could do afterward was smile. It wasn't necessarily a happy smile, more of an amused smile.
"It's still August and they set the home run record," he said. "Kind of crazy."
Crazy doesn't even begin to describe this one.
The Minnesota Twins hit six home runs Saturday night, four of them off Boyd. With a month left in the season, they have set a new MLB single-season home run record with 268, bettering the previous mark of 267 set last season by the Yankees.
But when the dust cleared, the Tigers won the game, beating the Twins, 10-7, and snapping a six-game losing skid.
