Game notes: We’ll see if Sunday’s rubber match has any of the excitement of Saturday night’s walk-off win for the Tigers. Today, Boyd takes on the Twins, a team he beat on July 23 in Minneapolis by going six innings and allowing three earned runs on four this and three walks while striking out eight. The big question mark is whether Miguel Cabrera (stiff back) will be ready to play today, though it seems unlikely.
