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 batter per inning with a nice walk rate, but he really hasn’t had much consistent command of either his curveball or particularly his changeup, putting too much pressure on the fastball.

The Detroit Tigers dropped a pair of games to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday evening: a close 3-1 loss in Game 1, but a blowout, 11-0, in Game 2. A rainout on Wednesday necessitated a pair of seven-inning contests on Thursday, a decidedly nicer day and evening, weather-wise. The somewhat unusual start time (4:10 pm CDT) made for some strange shadows at the start of the twin-bill.
Game 1: White Sox 3, Tigers 1
Carlos Rodón came into Game 1 with a 0.47 ERA, a 3-0 record, a sparkling 0.684 WHIP, and a no-hitter in his three starts so you just know he was champing at the bit to face the light-hitting Tigers lineup. Now, I know a few of you you are wondering, “Wait, Rodón? Wasn’t he a relief pitcher the Tigers had a couple of years ago?” Well, no, that’s another guy, Bruce Rondón. Hope this helps.
