Fans eight in tough loss Boyd (1-1) was charged with the loss Wednesday versus the Twins after allowing three runs on seven hits with eight strikeouts and zero walks over seven innings.

Impact The left-hander pitched well throughout the afternoon, but a two-run double from Jorge Polanco during the sixth inning with the Tigers winning 2-1 proved to be the difference in the contest. Regardless, Boyd looked good for the second straight outing to begin the season after delivering 5.2 scoreless frames Opening Day, and he'll attempt to keep things rolling at Houston early next week.

How Detroit Tigers' Matthew Boyd set tone with Opening Day win over Cleveland Indians While Cleveland Indians right-hander Shane Bieber took the strikeout highlights, Detroit Tigers lefty Matthew Boyd won the battle.

APRIL 2, 2021 • FREEP.COM

Picks up Opening Day win Boyd (1-0) allowed three hits and four walks while striking out two over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win against Cleveland on Thursday.

Impact Boyd had only one scoreless appearance across his 12 starts in 2020, but he began the 2021 campaign on a high note. The southpaw allowed baserunners in five of the first six innings Thursday, and it's concerning that he only struck out two batters, but he still exceeded expectations. Boyd will attempt to remain effective at home against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Why Detroit Tigers' AJ Hinch picked Matthew Boyd as Opening Day starter Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch talks Monday, March 22, 2021, about making Matthew Boyd his Opening Day starter.

MARCH 22, 2021 • FREEP.COM

Named Opening Day starter Boyd was named the Tigers' Opening Day starter Monday and will get the ball April 1 against Cleveland, William Ladson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran lefty earns the honor for the second season in a row. He wouldn't get the nod on many teams following a season in which he struggled to a 6.71 ERA, but the Tigers' wave of young pitching prospects hasn't been fully established yet, making him the clear top choice with Spencer Turnbull sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols.

Sharp again Monday Boyd allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk across four innings of work in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.

Impact Boyd surrendered a leadoff home run but settled in nicely after that and looked sharp while tossing 60 pitches. He now has seven strikeouts across his last seven Grapefruit League innings, which is right in line with the 9.0 K/9 he registered in 12 starts last season, and he has a spring ERA of 2.00. If the lefty can get closer to his 2019 K/9 of 11.6 this year, he should once again be a solid fantasy asset, even if he doesn't deliver a great ERA or win total.
