Boyd (1-5) went five innings Tuesday, giving up three earned runs on three hits while walking two and striking out five in an 8-7 victory over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday's no-decision was a step in the right direction for Boyd, who had surrendered at least five earned runs in each of his previous two outings. It's been a struggle for Boyd since his trade from the Blue Jays, having exceeded six innings just once in his seven starts as a member of the Tigers. Boyd has put up good enough Triple-A numbers to warrant tracking his progress, but currently has very little value in most formats.
