Matthew Boyd has lost his last three starts. He hasn't lost the belief he's on the verge of a turnaround.
The Detroit Tigers left-hander, who came into the season as the team's top starter, will once again seek his first victory in the opener of a four-game home series against Minnesota on Thursday.
In his last outing on Saturday, Boyd held Cleveland to two runs on five hits and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings. He didn't allow a homer for just the second time in six starts. It went for naught as the Indians pulled away for a 6-1 victory.
