Boyd (2-2) pitched five innings, allowing three runs, four hits and a walk while striking out six Astros in Friday's win.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was able to cruise to his second victory of the season thanks to a nine run explosion by the Tigers offense in the first two innings Friday. He threw 100 pitches for just the third time this year while allowing multiple home runs for the third time, too. The southpaw has won two straight decisions and will go for number three Thursday at home against the White Sox.
