Manship went 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA (3 ER/12.0 IP) in two starts, winning Tuesday at Norfolk (Orioles) and yesterday in the first game of a doubleheader at Durham (Rays).

He ranks second on the team in wins, one behind leader Liam Hendriks. Manship is 2-0 with a 1.08 ERA (3 ER/25.0 IP) in five starts since being optioned from the Minnesota Twins on June 27.

The Texas native is 4-1 with a 2.20 ERA (11 ER/45.0 IP) in his nine starts and 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA (5 ER/18.0 IP) in eight relief appearances. He is the second Red Wing to earn IL Pitcher of the Week honors. Hendriks picked up the award for the week of June 4-10.

The Red Wings return home tomorrow night for the start of a four-game series vs. Syracuse (Nationals). Gametime is 7:05 p.m.
