A Sunday afternoon match between the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox saw Tigers ace Matthew Boyd take on the ChiSox’ best starting pitcher in Reynaldo López. Neither disappointed, as they battled in an epic pitching duel, ultimately leading to a 4-1 loss for the Tigers and a two-game series sweep for the White Sox.
The story of the day was López, who stole Boyd’s thunder by striking out a career-high 14 in six innings, allowing only one run in the process. He kept the Tigers hitters off balance all day with his arsenal, mixing up pitches and sequencing the batters into oblivion.
