Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning struggled in his start against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. He pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed four hits, five walks and six earned runs while striking out three. He was tagged with the loss for the game, dropping his record to 4-6 on the year. The rookie right-hander has a 5.73 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP over 16 starts this year. What's most disappointing might be the fact that he's managed just 47 strikeouts over 77 innings. He's slated to make one more start this year as he'll face the White Sox once again this coming Saturday.
