Eduardo Rodriguez put together a decent start and Spencer Torkelson hit his 26th and 27th home runs to power the Tigers on Thursday night. In the process, they avoided the dreaded sweep with contributions throughout the lineup.
The day started with confirmation of Matt Manning’s injury as he went on the 15-day injured list and will miss the rest of the season with another fracture to his right foot. Reliever Trey Wingenter, who we haven’t seen much of since early this season, was recalled from Toledo to bolster the bullpen in his place.
The Tigers jumped on starter Carlos Rodon with a right-handed heavy lineup right out of the gate.
