Matt Manning’s rehabilitation start in Toledo did not go well. After a strong first inning in which the big right-hander struck out the side and showed some pretty good breaking balls, he was yanked with two outs in the second after throwing 30 pitches in the inning. They were perhaps just being careful about letting him go through that long an inning, but whatever the circumstances, his command was poor and he walked two batters, the second of which was the end of his outing. At this point, the rehab assignment is starting to resemble a reassignment.
The Hens got on the board first, as a Brendon Davis single eventually led to a Trayce Thompson RBI double.
