Took it on the chin unfortunately. Reds got the best of him today.

a Month later (Aug. 24) and things continue 'south' for Matt Boyd: 6 starts. 0-4 W-L, 8.48 era (ouch!) and 1.74 WHIP. Tigers may be thinking they shoulda traded him back when he was a 'thing'.

Matt had increased his fastball velo by 1.5 mph in 2019. One of the biggest gains in the Bigs. He also led the league in strikeouts per 9 innings. Unfortunately he also led MLB in home runs given up on the season.
He hasn't been sharp YTD - off his feed, I'd say.

A gain in velocity is often at the expense of movement. Matt should be a movement guy.

I don't think his slider is working as well as it did last year. Hopefully he finds his groove!
