Boyd allowed seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks over 2.1 innings Tuesday. He struck out one in a no-decision.
It was a tough outing for the 26-year-old southpaw, who saw his ERA balloon to 5.18 on the season. Detroit's bats took him off the hook for what would have been his third consecutive loss. The lefty now owns an unimpressive 30:21 K:BB to go with a 1.61 WHIP, so it's best to keep your distance from Boyd unless the right matchup presents itself. He'll toe the rubber again Sunday at home against Texas.
