The Detroit Tigers came into the series finale with the Baltimore Orioles looking to do something it had never done before in franchise history, sweep a season series of 6 games or more. Unfortunately, Jordan Lyles had other ideas and the Orioles hitters got to Manning to take the series finale, 8-1.
Jordan Lyles completely flummoxed the Tiger’s bats in this one. They were swinging early but Lyles got soft contact often as he pounded the zone with balls the Tigers couldn’t square up. The Tigers had only 2 hits through six innings, and Lyles had thrown just 67 pitches.
