After a complete dud of a trade deadline, the Detroit Tigers came out and beat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 after flipping Michael Fulmer to them earlier in the evening.
This one saw the return of Matt Manning to the rotation after over three months on the injured list. His velocity was down and he struggled to locate both the fastball and slider consistently, but he kept the ball on the ground and didn’t allow the Twins to get much going. The whiffs are still painfully lacking, but we’ll cut him some slack for a few starts as he gets up to speed.
