Toledo Mud Hens (7-10) Matt Manning has had a home run ridden start to his 2021 season. Through four starts, he’s already allowed nine long balls, and while many of them were somewhat cheap, there have been plenty of hard contact and deep fly balls as well. Manning is still striking out more than a
Well the centerfield carousel continues to turn. After Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Royals, the Detroit Tigers optioned JaCoby Jones to Triple-A Toledo.

The Detroit Tigers’ four-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday at the hands of the Kansas City Royals, 7-5, in a game where Matthew Boyd did not quite have his regular stuff and the wrong team secured the Malek-Lite (scoring seven runs in a game). Sunday is a new day and the boys

Spencer Turnbull: 9 no-hit innings and many defeated bats. I really think the title and image probably say it all. Of course, I am thrilled that Spencer Turnbull threw a no-hitter.

This was one of those games that really could have gone either direction. The Tigers and Royals played a well-balanced game of trading off leads and everyone was, well, pretty decent.
