Detroit Tigers pitcher Matt Boyd got the start for the team and pitched his way through hits, but did not get the needed offensive support. Boyd finished with a line of seven innings pitched, eight hits allowed, two runs allowed, one walk and six strikeouts.
The starter induced two double plays. He only made one bad mistake to Jose Abreu, but made pitches when he needed them.
Miguel Gonzalez started for the White Sox which had been a favorable match up for the Tigers.
