Welcome back, Matt Manning. Just as the Tigers have had to bid adieu to Matthew Boyd for the remainder of the season, it’s a welcome sign to see Manning return and have a relatively solid first outing back. The walks were a bit higher than one might want, but we’re not going to be too hard on the guy, he just got back.
Let’s see how the Tigers did in Texas tonight. Spoiler alert: it was bad.
Martin Perez started strong with a 1-2-3 inning, and while Manning would have liked to do the same, he did allow a two-out single to Nathaniel Lowe.
