It was a momentous afternoon at Comerica Park in Detroit on Saturday as the Detroit Tigers had their first combined no-hitter in franchise history against the Toronto Blue Jays in a 2-0 win.
Matt Manning, Jason Foley and Alex Lange were the protagonists of the matchup as they made history in what has been a mostly uneventful campaign in the Motor City.
In just his third start since being activated off the injured list, Manning—25—did the heavy lifting for most of the afternoon and was absolutely dominant, going 6 2/3 innings on 91 pitches with five strikeouts and three walks.
