NEW YORK – Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd wrapped up his pre-All-Star break campaign with eight scoreless innings against the Yankees.
In the Cubs’ 5-2 win Saturday, he held the best offense in the American League to four hits. After the Cubs wrap up the series, the first-time All-Star will head to Atlanta, where he won’t be active for the game itself, but he plans to participate in the other festivities.
“I’m a product of the people around me,” Boyd said after the game. “It’s been a lot of fun to be part of this ball club, and I think we’re all getting better collectively.
