Detroit Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd returned to the Comerica Park mound for the first time since June 8, back from left arm discomfort that forced him out of his June 14 start in Kansas City and sent him to the injured list.
Facing the Toronto Blue Jays, Boyd flashed positives and negatives — five strikeouts and two home runs allowed — in the Tigers’ 2-1 loss in Sunday’s series finale at Comerica Park. The Tigers (62-69) dropped two of three games in Detroit, one weekend after taking two of three from the Blue Jays in Toronto.
