Boyd (2-6) threw 5.2 innings of two-hit ball during the Tigers' 6-0 victory over the Royals on Tuesday. He walked four and struck out five without allowing a run.
Boyd picked up his second win in four starts. It was his first appearance without allowing a run in 2020. The effort dropped his season ERA to 6.75, which still represents his worst campaign outside of a brief 2015 cup of coffee. Boyd will draw Cleveland in his next start over the weekend.
