Seattle — It's been a good weekend for Matthew Boyd.

He was back home with his family. He celebrated his daughter’s second birthday. And on Sunday, pitching back at the ballpark where he grew up rooting for Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson, he pitched another gem.

"It was really nice to be home and to be with family," said Boyd, who grew up and still has a home on nearby Mercer Island. "Got to see my grandpa, which are times I just cherish and to share my daughter's birthday with all the family being there is something you don't take for granted.
