Boyd allowed five hits, two walks and four earned runs in 3.2 innings pitched, picking up only three strikeouts in Sunday's spring training loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd looked fairly solid in his previous two starts, only allowing one earned run in five innings, but Sunday's performance seems more in line with his performance last year. Boyd had a 7.53 ERA in 13 games last season while bouncing between Triple-A and the majors for both the Tigers and Blue Jays.
