Boyd (4-2) pitched six innings, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four in a no-decision Thursday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The young left-hander tied his career high of 106 pitches while navigating his way through the dangerous Red Sox lineup like a veteran Thursday. That makes two straight impressive starts for Boyd, who allowed just two hits while tossing seven scoreless innings last time out against the Rangers. Boyd's efforts lowered his ERA to 3.93, its best mark in more than two months. His next scheduled start is set for Wednesday in Minnesota against a Twins team he limited to just three hits over six scoreless innings back on July 18.
