Boyd (4-4) allowed four runs on seven hits with eight strikeouts and no walks across 6.1 innings while taking a loss against the Athletics on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old struck out at least eight batters for the third time in his last five outings, but the long ball hurt him once again. After yielding only two homers in his first seven starts, Boyd has tossed up five bombs in the past 16.1 innings. That's raised his ERA more than half a run. He is 4-4 with a 3.41 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 73 strikeouts in 60.2 innings this season. Boyd is scheduled to start next at the Mets on Friday.

Boyd (4-3) was tagged for three earned runs on five hits and two walks over four innings to take the loss Monday against the Astros. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
This was the shortest start of the season so far for Boyd, who gave up two home runs to a potent Houston lineup. The lefty needed 96 pitches to get through his four innings and recorded a season-low two strikeouts. Despite the tough outing, Boyd still has a sparkling 3.15 ERA and 65:13 K:BB through 54.1 innings this season. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Athletics.

Boyd (3-2) picked up the win Friday over the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk across seven innings. He struck out nine.
EDGE Analysis
Outside of the fourth inning Friday -- during which Boyd allowed both runs to score -- the southpaw didn't allow a baserunner to reach second base. Boyd has now registered six consecutive quality starts, posting a 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB in 39.1 innings during that stretch. He'll look to keep it rolling in his next scheduled start, which will come at home against the Angels.

Boyd (2-2) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox despite allowing just two runs over six innings. He gave up five hits and a walk, while striking out nine.
EDGE Analysis
Boyd gave up two runs in the first inning but was locked in the rest of the way. Unfortunately for him, Detroit hitters mustered just two hits and struck out a whopping 20 times in the 4-1 loss. The lefty has been sharp this year with a 3.13 ERA and 48:10 K:BB across 37.1 innings, though he may miss out on some wins due to the lackluster nature of the Tigers' offense. Boyd will look to keep doing his part in his next outing, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Royals.

Boyd will still start Sunday for the Tigers after Saturday's game was postponed due to inclement weather, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday's Tigers-White Sox game in Chicago was postponed due to wintry weather and will be made up as part of a doubleheader on July 3. Boyd will stay on his regular schedule and start as planned Sunday, as the Tigers can use off days on Monday and Thursday to get their rotation lined up next week. The lefty has been off to a good start this season, with a 3.16 ERA and 1.02 WHIP through five starts (31.1 innings).

EDGE Analysis
Boyd has been excellent to start the season, as he now has a 3.16 ERA through five starts, with a stellar 39:9 K:BB across 31.1 innings. The lefty will look to stay hot in his next scheduled start Sunday on the road against the White Sox.

Boyd will start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was expected after Boyd's scheduled start Monday was pushed back by a day due to inclement weather in Boston. The southpaw has impressed through four starts this season (2.96 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB over 24.1 innings) and will look to keep things rolling Tuesday.

Boyd allowed three runs over seven innings and did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates. He gave up six hits and a walk, while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Boyd and Pittsburgh starter Joe Musgrove were locked in a pitcher's duel for seven innings, and neither factored into the decision, as the Pirates scored twice in the 10th inning to pull ahead. Boyd has been excellent to start the season, as he now has a 2.96 ERA through four starts, with a stellar 36:7 K:BB across 24.1 innings. The lefty will look to stay hot in his next scheduled start Sunday against the White Sox.
