Matt Manning Tagged For Eight Runs On Thursday
3 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning got pummeled by the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. He pitched 3 2/3 innings and allowed eight hits, three walks and eight earned runs while recording just one strikeout. The rookie had posted three consecutive solid outings before this one, including two quality starts, so it was disappointing to see him fall apart on Thursday. He now has a 6.29 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP over 13 starts on the year. He has an xBA of .292, which ranks in the bottom 2% of the league, while his 12.1% strikeout rate ranks in the bottom 1%. He's too risky to stream for fantasy purposes at this point, even though his next start will be an alluring one against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.
