Rocked for seven runs Boyd (1-6) took the loss after giving up seven runs on eight hits with two strikeouts and four walks over three innings Wednesday against the Brewers.
Impact The left-hander had a 2.60 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in his previous three starts entering Wednesday, but he found minimal success against the Brewers. Boyd has a 7.63 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 43.2 innings, and he'll try to turn the page next week against the Royals.

Pitches well in loss Boyd (1-5) took the loss in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins, allowing two runs across six innings. He gave up four hits and struck out eight.
Impact It was an inauspicious first inning for Boyd, who gave up back-to-back home runs to Jorge Polanco and Josh Donaldson to begin the game. However, the lefty settled down from there, as he allowed just two hits the rest of the way. Unfortunately, he got zero run support and was saddled with his fifth loss of the year. Boyd has turned in consecutive quality starts against a strong Minnesota lineup, and he's beginning to look like the ace the Tigers need him to be. His ERA is still high at 6.64, but he'll look to keep lowering that number in his next outing, which is scheduled for Wednesday against the Brewers.

Impact While Boyd served up his ninth home run of the season in the outing, that was about the only blemish on his final line.

In his subsequent three turns, Boyd has has submitted a 3.52 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB in 15.1 innings.

Tigers, Twins have doubleheader postponed because of weather
A doubleheader between the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins has been postponed because of bad weatherAUGUST 28, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
No doubleheader Friday Boyd won't start Friday against the Tigers as the doubleheader was rained out, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Boyd was originally set to take the mound in Game 1, but the Tigers changed their pitching plans after the contest was delayed by rain, and the twin bill was eventually postponed. One game will be made up via a doubleheader Saturday, and the veteran lefty will take the mound for Game 1. Tarik Skubal will start the nightcap for the Tigers.

Not starting Game 1 Boyd is no longer starting Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Boyd was expected to take the mound for the matinee, but the Tigers are now bumping up Tarik Skubal to start for undisclosed reasons. The Twins shifted their starting plans for the twin bill due to the expected rain during the afternoon, but it's unclear if that's the reasoning for the Tigers' change in starters. There was no indication of any injury, so Boyd tentatively lines up to start Game 2 until the team updates his status.

Starting Game 1 Boyd will start the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins.
Impact Boyd was initially scheduled to start Thursday's game before the contest was postponed. However, he'll start just one day later as part of a twin bill. The Tigers likely won't need to make any changes to the rotation in the coming days since the team has two scheduled off days next week.

Start against Twins postponed Boyd's scheduled start against the Twins on Thursday was postponed, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact The two teams decided not to play Thursday's contest in protest of the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Friday, and Boyd will likely take the mound for one of the two games of the twin bill.
