Boyd (5-8) allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk across six innings while taking the loss Sunday against the White Sox. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was actually quite effective aside from a third-inning collapse in which he allowed five runs on five runs on five hits, including a three-run home run by Matt Davidson. He threw a hefty 74 percent of pitches for strikes, including first-pitch strikes to 23 of 26 batters, but he was made to pay for numerous location errors. Boyd has endured a miserable run of form lately, allowing a whopping 25 earned runs over 23.2 innings over his last six outings. He will take a disappointing 6.32 ERA into Friday's start against the Indians.
