Boyd terrific, Upton homers as Tigers shut down Twins 1-0 (Yahoo Sports)

Matt Boyd allowed three hits in six outstanding innings, and the Detroit Tigers beat Minnesota 1-0 on Monday night to hand the last-place Twins another loss just hours after they announced the firing of general manager Terry Ryan. Justin Upton homered in the second to back Boyd (1-2), who struck out seven with one walk and provided a welcome boost to a rotation that has shown little depth of late. Minnesota announced Ryan's firing before the game, then lost in relatively punchless fashion.
