Detroit — Interesting matchup, right out of the gate after the All-Star break: Boston's David Price vs. Detroit's Matthew Boyd.
You might remember back in July of 2015, the Tigers traded Price to the Blue Jays for Boyd, Daniel Norris and Jairo Labourt.
Both left-handers were in good form — but let’s face it, Boyd’s task was tougher. He allowed one run and three hits in five-plus innings against the high-scoring Red Sox. But that one run was all Price and his bullpen mates would need.
Price pitched 6.1 innings of shutout baseball helping the Red Sox beat the Tigers, 1-0, at Comerica Park Friday night.
