DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – An early 3-0 lead for Detroit turned into an ugly 9-3 loss in Toronto on Tuesday. Nick Maton had a three-run home run in the second inning to put Detroit up, 3-0. Matt Manning went six innings giving up for runs for the loss with three strikeouts.
Manning had to leave the sixth inning after he broke a bone in his foot when he was hit with a comebacker. He was seen in a boot after the game and commented, “It’s a freak accident, can’t do anything about it. I’m trying to think maybe I’ll give it a week off, see how it feels and get back out there. I mean, it’s just foot.”
