Boyd is coming off his best start of the season as he scattered four hits and struck out seven in eight scoreless innings of a win over Cincinnati on Tuesday.

The New York native served up five solo home runs against the Chicago White Sox on July 26 and was charged with four runs on seven hits - one homer - at Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
