Special to The Detroit News
Detroit — Tigers rookie right-hander Matt Manning left the mound after six innings pounding his glove with a smile on his face and a look of satisfaction.
He outdueled Milwaukee Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff, whose 2.48 ERA ranked fourth in MLB, and the Tigers came out on top, 4-1, Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park.
Detroit swept the two-game series from a team tied for the third-most wins in the majors, and allowed the Brewers one run over 20 innings.
Manning (4-6) gave up one run on two hits over six innings, and was nearly perfect after almost letting the second inning get away from him.
