From bad to worse: Tigers lose 5th straight and Matt Manning breaks bone in his foot

Toronto – The gut punches just keep coming for the Tigers.

Minutes after the Toronto Blue Jays secured a 9-3 win in their home opener Tuesday − hitting five home runs in the newly-renovated, dimensions-shortened Rogers Centre − manager AJ Hinch announced that right-hander Matt Manning, who became the first Tigers' starter to go six full innings, had broken the fifth metatarsal on his right foot on the last pitch of his outing.

"I didn't think it was that bad," said Manning, who gave up three solo home runs and very little else in six solid innings.
