I don’t mean to be mean here, but statistically speaking the 2024 Miami Marlins are a bad team. Going into tonight’s game, they had the worst record in baseball, and even for a not-spectacular Tigers club, this is one of those series where Detroit should win.
Matt Manning started out well through his fist few innings, the offense was hot, and it sure looked like the Tigers had this on lock, but then the Tigers Toger’d, and, well, let’s just look at how it played out. (Don’t panic, there’s a happy ending)
In the first, Manning started out strong, with two quick outs, then a single to hard-swinging Josh Bell, before getting the final out.
