Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd outdueled the combination of Lance Lynn and Sonny Gray on Sunday, tossing six innings while allowing five hits and three earned runs as part of an 11-7 Tigers victory. He also struck out six and walked just one, throwing 64 of his 98 pitches for strikes. Two of his three earned runs came via solo homers as Aaron Hicks and Luke Voit took him deep in the 1st and 4th innings, respectively. Boyd's season numbers don't jump off the page, but he's definitely worth streaming when faced with a favorable matchup. He has a 9-12 record, 4.24 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 137/46 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 153 innings. Give Boyd a look if you are in a 12+ team or AL-only league.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd tossed six innings against the Royals on Tuesday, and five of those innings were pretty darn good. The problem for Boyd was the one bad inning, a five-run frame in the third inning. Boyd allowed a single and a walk through the first two innings before the outburst, and after that five-run frame managed to retire 11 of the next 13 batters to finish out six innings. It's a small silver lining for Boyd, who falls to 8-12 on the year with a 4.22 ERA, but it does reiterate what we've seen from him all season: Boyd has potential to be a serviceable starter for fantasy purposes when he puts it all together.
