Rays 5, Tigers 2: Struggles continue for Matthew Boyd, Tigers

Another day, another bad inning for Matthew Boyd, another loss for the Detroit Tigers. That was the theme tonight in Tampa for the Tigers as they fell to the Rays 5-2, and to 40-54 on the season.

Things started really well for Boyd. He set down the first seven Rays batters in a row, and gave hope he might be kicking his recent slump to the curb. Sadly, it turned out that was not the case. Carlos Gomez reached base on a walk in the bottom of the third, and then a series of lazy fielding mistakes would allow two runs to score.
