Jakhob has your recap here .

Sorry I posted it late, I fell asleep. Kyle Manzardo has a wRC+ of 47. We are nearing emergency status with him.

Also, basically, Vogt needs to keep Daniel Schneemann and Angel Martinez in the lineup every day (maybe just against RHP for Schnee) until further notice. AROUND MLB; The Tigers gave up a big lead to Tito’s 17-9 Reds and lost 9-8, the Twins also lost, but the White Sox and Royals won.
