Looks like the hitless wonders did it again. How many shutouts does this latest one make this year?

The Tigers' 17th shutout of the season is their first 1-0 loss.
Matt Manning threw 7 innings of 1-run, 3-hit ball.

The slider that Matt Manning worked on while rehabbing his shoulder has totally changed his game. He has six swinging strikes and five called strikes on it thru six innings of one-run, three-hit ball. His 5 K's include one each of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.

You might not be able to name all the different Tigers starters since July 21, but their collective 3.09 ERA in that span is the lowest in the American League, third-lowest in the Majors.

From the infield to the outfield, Barbaro Garbey did it all for the 1984 World Champion Tigers.

Though the Tigers? 17th shutout loss of the season was their first 1-0 defeat since Sept. 18, 2020, it still followed the general pattern of the 2022 season: Detroit pitchers provide a chance but Tigers hitters can?t take advantage. Considering how many different names have been on the pitching side of the theme, it?s actually encouraging.

While even the hardiest Tigers fan might have a hard time naming all the starters they?ve used since the All-Star break (Manning, Tarik Skubal, Garrett Hill, Michael Pineda, Drew Hutchison, Bryan Garcia, Tyler Alexander, Daniel Norris), their collective 3.09 ERA in that span is the lowest among American League rotations and third lowest in the Majors. Given Detroit?s 8-21 record during that span, it can be depressing to think how much better the Tigers could be with a little more offense.

And yet, as the Tigers try to find a path forward next season, it?s a sliver of hope just how much starting pitching the Tigers have to work with. Even without Skubal, Pineda, Casey Mize, Alex Faedo, Beau Brieske and Eduardo Rodriguez (who returns Sunday), the Tigers continue to pitch stingy.

Did fans in Detroit at least get to see Shohei Otani do anything historic?

And did Jack Morris say anything to win himself another suspension?
