Knocked around in loss Boyd (3-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks over 5 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.
Impact Boyd didn't have his best stuff Saturday, surrendering a two-run homer to Nick Ahmed in the second inning and later serving up a three-run shot to Lourdes Gurriel in the fifth. The left-hander recorded only three strikeouts after fanning at least five in each of his previous three starts and he's now lost three of his last four decisions. It was also Boyd's fourth time this season allowing at least five runs.

Fans nine in no-decision Boyd allowed a run on three hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Sunday.
Impact Boyd pitched well, but the Tigers' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead. The three baserunners were a season low, while his nine strikeouts were a season high to make this his sharpest start of the year. It's just the second time he's limited an opponent to one run or less. Boyd has struggled to a 5.57 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 53:22 K:BB through 53.1 innings over 11 starts this year, his first as a starter since 2021. He's projected for a home start versus Arizona in his next outing.

Suffers fourth loss Monday Boyd (3-4) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks over six innings in a 5-0 loss against Texas. He struck out five.
Impact Boyd tied his season high with four walks but was still able to complete six innings for the second time this year. The veteran is transitioning back to a starting role after operating exclusively as a reliever for Seattle last year, and he's struggled to find a rhythm. Despite the less-than-ideal numbers (5.96 ERA and 1.43 WHIP), Boyd remains firmly entrenched in Detroit's rotation and is scheduled to pitch again during the finale of a three-game weekend set versus the White Sox.

Pulled in fifth inning Boyd allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Wednesday.
Impact Boyd pitched quite well in the outing, but he began to fade in the fourth, allowing a run on a hit, a walk and a hit-by-pitch. When the left-hander let two more hitters reach base in the fifth, he was pulled after 86 pitches in favor of Will Vest, who retired Bobby Witt to keep Boyd from incurring additional damage. Boyd looked good when he was in the game, racking up 15 swings-and-misses and fanning six batters. This was the first time all season he's finished a start having allowed fewer than two earned runs.

Collects third win Boyd (3-3) picked up the win Friday, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in an 8-6 victory over the Nationals. He struck out four.
Impact The southpaw blanked Washington for five frames before running out of steam in the sixth and falling just short of his second quality start of the season. Despite this solid effort, a couple of rough recent outings have left Boyd with a 6.21 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB through 37.2 innings on the season. He'll look to whittle down those ratios in his next start, which is likely to come next week in Kansas City.

Struggles versus Seattle Boyd (2-3) took the loss Friday, allowing six runs on five hits and four walks over 1.1 innings during a 9-2 loss to the Mariners. He struck out one.
Impact Boyd couldn't find any rhythm Friday and was pulled after just 55 pitches with Seattle already up 6-0 in the second inning. The poor outing elevated the left-hander's ERA to 6.47 through seven starts (32 innings) and snapped his four-game streak of completing at least five innings. Boyd will look to get back on track next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for a three-game weekend set in Washington.

Strikes out six in win Boyd (2-2) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out six without issuing a walk in six innings, earning the win Friday over the Cardinals.
Impact This was Boyd's longest start of the season, though he was moderately efficient with 87 pitches (60 strikes). He's allowed more than three runs just once in six outings, and this is the first time in 2023 he hasn't walked a batter. The southpaw now has a 5.28 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB across 30.2 innings this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Mariners next week.

Stumbles in nightcap Saturday Boyd (1-2) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, surrendering six runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.
Impact Detroit jumped on the veteran southpaw for four runs in the second inning before a two-run homer by light-hitting Ryan McKenna in the sixth chased Boyd from the game. It's the first time in five starts this season he's given up more than three runs, but Boyd is beginning to have trouble keeping the ball in the yard, as he's served up four home runs in his last 15.2 innings. He'll take a 5.47 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB through 24.2 frames into his next outing, which could come next weekend in St. Louis.

Fans eight in victory Boyd (1-1) yielded two runs on five hits and a walk over five frames Monday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Brewers.
Impact Boyd's stuff was locked in Monday. His eight strikeouts and 19 whiffs were both new season highs after he totaled just 11 punchouts through his first three starts. He allowed solo home runs to William Contreras and Mike Brosseau but was able to avoid danger otherwise. Boyd lowered his season ERA to 4.26 and picked up his first win of 2023. He's currently projected for a home matchup with the Orioles this weekend.

Impact All three runs came in the fourth inning, punctuated by a two-run homer from Oscar Gonzalez, but otherwise Detroit's pitchers kept Cleveland off the board all day, going on to win the nightcap 1-0. It's Boyd's longest outing of the year in three trips to the mound, and the veteran southpaw will take a 4.50 ERA and 11:9 K:BB through 14 innings into his next start, likely to come this weekend in Baltimore.

Charged with loss Sunday Boyd (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks over 4.2 innings in a 4-1 loss to Boston. He struck out four.
Impact Boyd also gave up two runs during his season debut against the Astros on Monday, but he was able to settle for the no-decision in that outing. However, the Tigers mustered just one run during Sunday's series finale, so Boyd was charged with his first loss of the season after giving up runs in the second and fifth innings. The southpaw tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Giants on Saturday.
