Boyd (5-2) gave up three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings Wednesday, striking out seven Twins in a 9-4 win.
He gave up a couple more homers, continuing what's been a perpetual issue on that front -- Boyd now owns an awful 1.57 HR/9. That's far better than last year's nightmarish 2.67 mark, but it leaves Boyd on the low end for fantasy purposes. His moderate strikeout rate and long-ball-friendly tendencies have made him a dicey play on a start-to-start basis. On the bright side, though, Boyd has delivered three consecutive quality outings, giving up just four runs on 12 hits in 19 innings over that span, which notably includes starts against the Red Sox and Rangers, two strong offenses.
