Boyd allowed two runs in the first inning and another in the fourth, but he managed to exit the ballgame with a five-run lead. The 27-year-old has been inconsistent over his previous four starts, going 2-2 with 12 runs allowed and 23 punchouts through 24.1 frames. Boyd's next start is slated for Saturday against St. Louis.
