A solid effort from starter Matt Manning and a ton of early offense all went to waste in this one. The Tigers bullpen collapsed like a house of cards from the sixth inning on for probably the worst loss of the 2021 season as the Angels stormed back from an eight run deficit to win 13-10.
Things got off to a rousing start on Thursday afternoon. Starter Matt Manning allowed a single but no more in the first, and the Tigers’ offense quickly jumped on Angels’ starter Jose Quintana. Scheduled starter Patrick Sandoval was scratched prior to the game and moved to the 10-day IL, so Quintana was in a tricky spot and it looked it.
