CLEVELAND — It was the dream scenario – at least from the Detroit Tigers' perspective.
Matt Manning, one of the Tigers’ top prospects, was on the mound on Sunday night in the MLB Futures Game.
And Jake Rogers, the Tigers top catching prospect, was behind the plate.
A pure Motor City battery.
Manning and Rogers are two of the biggest names in the Tigers' system, and they were in the spotlight on national TV.
