Manaea (1-2) gave up six hits, five earned runs and two walks over 6.2 innings in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Manaea was serviceable, but couldn't get any run support from his offense on a day when Masahiro Tanaka was on top of his game. Manaea threw 66 of 95 pitches across the plate, and managed first-pitch strikes on 19 of the 29 hitters he faced. It was a step back for the 24-year-old, who'd allowed only one hit to the Rangers during his last start, clearly his best outing of the season to date. He did stay away from the long ball for the second straight start, and the 6.2 innings equaled his longest stint on the mound, which he accomplished in the aforementioned outing against Texas. He'll try to get back in the win column against the Tigers next Friday in Oakland.
