EDGE Analysis

Manning pitched pretty well in his return to the mound and left with a chance to earn the win, but Detroit's bullpen allowed six earned runs in an eventual 8-3 loss. The righty had been out since April due to a fractured right foot. He displayed some rust with the season-high four walks, though it was an otherwise promising outing. Manning gives the Tigers a boost with so many starters out due to injuries, and he's slated to take the mound again over the weekend at Coors Field against the Rockies.
