Keelan Boyd was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-2. That's the most hits he has posted since back in February of 2024.
Boyd wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Adam Geiger, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.
