CHICAGO -- Detroit Tigers left-hander Matt Boyd will look to maintain his recent success when he takes the mound against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.Boyd, 25, has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his past nine starts. He is 5-0 with a 2.55 ERA since July 9, which has improved his season record to 5-2 with a 4.00 ERA.Boyds impressive second half of the season has mirrored that of Detroit (75-62). The Tigers remain tied with the Baltimore Orioles for the second American League wild-card playoff spot after their 5-3, 11-inning win against the White Sox on Monday afternoon.Detroit has won six of its past seven games and 11 of its past 14.I like where were at, Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander said. I like the grit that this team has late in the season. Really, this last week or so, (weve had) a never-say-die attitude. Weve won a bunch of games where we were down, some games that we were probably losing early on in the season.Nows the right time to get hot. This is what we work so hard for.Meanwhile, the reality of another disappointing season is setting in for Chicago (65-72). The White Sox dropped to 5-12 against Detroit after the Monday loss, and they have posted a dismal 13-32 record against opponents from the AL Central since May 23.I can tell you, top to bottom, no ones happy about it, White Sox left-hander Chris Sale said. It falls on us, mostly. You just have to look at yourself in the mirror and say, What have we got to do to change it?We have to find a way to be better next year. Hold your head up high, but weve got to change something.One thing the White Sox hope to maintain is their good work against Boyd. The second-year pitcher has faced Chicago three times this year and has no decisions despite an ugly 6.39 ERA.Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez is scheduled to return from the 15-day disabled list to start for Chicago. The 32-year-old veteran has been sidelined since Aug. 12 because of a strained right groin.Gonzalez is 2-6 with a 4.05 ERA in 19 games (18 starts) this season. During his career, Tigers hitters have battered him for 30 earned runs on 49 hits in 30 innings. He is 1-4 with a 9.00 ERA in eight games (six starts) against Detroit.Before his groin injury, Gonzalez was pitching well. He recorded seven consecutive quality starts from July 1 to Aug. 5 and posted a 2.76 ERA (14 earned runs in 45 2/3 innings) during that span.Gonzalez faces a difficult assignment against a Tigers team filled with hot hitters.Miguel Cabrera went 4-for-5 with two home runs in the series opener to improve his batting average to .316 with 31 home runs and 87 RBI. Justin Upton is also hit, as he is batting .339 (19-for-56) with four doubles, eight home runs and 21 RBI in his past 15 games.Honestly, Ive been on time a lot more, Upton said. Ive been giving myself a better opportunity to see the ball and put good swings on it. Thats what Ive done. Cheap Detroit Lions Jerseys .
