Matthew Boyd surrendered three runs in seven-plus innings Monday in a loss to the Brewers.

Boyd hadn’t pitched into the eighth this season, but the Cubs thought he could do it after seven innings of one-run ball today. And then he walked Garrett Mitchell and gave up a double to Joey Ortiz. Ryan Zejerjahn took over at that point and allowed both runners to score before also giving up a run of his own, putting the Cubs in a 4-2 hole. It leaves Boyd 0-3 over his last five starts, though the most recent three have been quite solid (3.44 ERA). He’ll likely face the Pirates on Sunday.
