A really well pitched game on both sides for eight innings was spoiled by a total collapse from Gregory Soto in the ninth that turned a scoreless game into a complete rout for the Rays as they took the four-game set with an 7-0 victory on Sunday.
Matt Manning led the way for the Tigers, making his second start since returning from a lengthy IL stint. He was excellent in this one, producing the best start of his nascent major league career.
In the first he got Yandy Diaz to fly out to left, but then walked Brandon Lowe.
