Tigers starter Matt Boyd recovered from his rough first inning, retiring the Twins in order in the bottom of the second. Boyd struck out Max Kepler to start the half inning, before getting Kurt Suzuki to pop out to Andrew Romine behind second base. Boyd then got Eddie Rosario to ground out to first to end the inning. After two, the game remains tied, 1-1.
