Matthew Boyd Wins Again at Wrigley
Matthew Boyd improved to 5-2 in his 11 starts with the Cubs, with a 3.08 ERA, 3.44 FIP, and 1.26 WHIP overall on the season. He gave up just one unearned run in six innings with eight strikeouts and four hits allowed to the Rockies in his team's 2-1 win. He has been especially sharp at home, going 5-0 in five starts at Wrigley Field with a 2.40 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 3.50 FIP. He has 32 strikeouts in 30 innings at home and has held opponents to a .298 wOBA in those five outings. The veteran lefty has been a key part of Chicago's rotation, and he's scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Nationals next Wednesday. He has been strong enough to be a mixed-league option in favorable matchups, and especially when pitching at home.
