Kansas City, Mo. — For such a low-wattage, low-scoring baseball game, there was a lot going on in the Tigers' 3-1 loss to the Royals on Saturday at Kauffman Stadium.
Not the least of which was the potential loss of another starting pitcher. A day after Casey Mize was placed on the injured list (sprained medial collateral ligament in his right elbow), Matt Manning was pulled after just two innings and 38 pitches.
The Tigers announced he was feeling discomfort in his right shoulder.
The Royals broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the sixth inning.
