Boyd`s effort saves `pen, but not enough for win
(MLB.com Detroit Tigers)

Before Friday`s game, Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire joked that Matthew Boyd could `throw with his other arm` if that`s what it took for the Tigers to avoid turning to their bullpen early for a second straight night. As it turns out, Boyd`s left arm was good enough to take the burden off Detroit`s relievers, but he wasn`t quite sharp enough to carry the Tigers to victory as the Twins topped Detroit, 5-4, at Target Field.
