Cincinnati — The stat line for Matthew Boyd’s outing Tuesday is going to look ugly — five runs, six hits, three walks in four innings of work.
Well, OK, it was ugly and it doesn’t deserve an asterisk, for sure.
But allow that the one hit plated four of the runs. And, according to Statcast, that fly ball was struck with an exit velocity of 93.8 mph with a 43-degree launch angle, and had a hit probability of 1 percent.
Reds All-Star Joey Votto, batting with the bases loaded and no outs in the third inning, lofted a 2-1 curveball from Boyd 329 feet to the wall in right field.
