The Tigers, who have won three straight, swept
the two-game interleague series. The Cardinals lost their third
game in a row.
Schoop's long ball was his 10th this month and 15th of the
season. Daz Cameron also homered and scored two runs for the
Tigers. Willi Castro added two hits and scored a run.
Manning (1-1), making his second career start and first at home,
gave up two runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He walked two
and struck out one.
Cardinals starter John Gant (4-6) lasted just three-plus
innings. He gave up three runs on two hits but also walked four
batters while fanning four. Gant leads the majors in walks
issued with 48.
Nolan Arenado homered for the Cardinals while Lars Nootbaar
contributed his first major league hit, a triple, and scored a
run.
Arenado led off the second inning by blasting a Manning
off-speed pitch over the left-center-field wall.
Gant walked the first two batters in the bottom of the inning. A
fielder's choice and two groundouts allowed him to escape.
Nootbaar ripped his triple to center with one out in the third.
He scored on Tommy Edman's single.
Gant got into more trouble in the third and wasn't as fortunate
as the prior time. He walked Jake Rogers and Akil Baddoo before
Schoop smacked his two-run double to right-center.
Schoop was left stranded, but the Tigers took a 3-2 lead in the
fourth when Cameron clobbered a Gant changeup over the left
field wall.
Schoop extended the lead in the fifth off Ryan Helsley when he
blasted a 3-2 fastball just over the left field fence.
Detroit made it 5-2 in the sixth. Castro led off with a single
and Isaac Paredes reached on a fielder's choice play when Castro
beat a throw to second. After a Rogers sacrifice, Baddoo slapped
a single to right to knock in Castro. Paredes was thrown out at
the plate on the play.
Cameron scored in the eighth on Paredes' sacrifice fly.
