Manaea allowed two runs on four hits, three walks and two hit batters while striking out three in 4.2 innings versus San Francisco on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea wasn't hit as hard as he's been in his last few starts, but the two hit batters made things more difficult for the southpaw. He's endured a horrid August, allowing 17 runs across 15.2 innings his last four starts. The skid has inflated his ERA to 3.77 with a 1.24 WHIP and 151:36 K:BB across 138.1 innings overall. He'll attempt to right the ship against a surging Yankees team during next weekend's four-game series.

Manaea allowed three runs on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts through 1.2 innings, taking a no-decision in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

On an extremely humid night in Cleveland, Manaea struggled dearly with his command. Despite pulverizing the rosin bag in search of any iota of extra grip, the left-hander needed 69 pitches to get five outs and worked himself into five full counts. While this is the second consecutive rough outing for the 29-year-old, the conditions played a huge part in Tuesday night's meltdown. Manaea and fantasy managers alike will be glad to know that his next start will come in the climate-controlled confines of Globe Life Field against the lowly Rangers on Sunday.

Manaea (8-7) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Padres after allowing five runs on eight hits while fanning four.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea started the game by giving up a solo shot to Tommy Pham, and that would set the tone for the rest of his outing. He was unable to get out of the fifth inning, and the five runs he allowed represented his highest mark since he gave up seven runs across two frames back on May 13 against the Red Sox. Manaea has given up at least three earned runs in four of his last six outings, but he still owns a solid 3.26 ERA on the season.

Manaea (8-6) earned the win Wednesday over the Padres after tossing six scoreless innings, giving up one hit and one walk while fanning nine.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea tossed a second straight quality start and has dazzled of late, allowing just one run on four hits while posting a 22:4 K:BB across his last 13 innings of work. The southpaw owns an excellent 2.18 ERA since the beginning of June.

Manaea (7-6) earned the win Thursday against the Mariners after allowing one run on three hits and three walks while fanning 13 across seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

The 13 strikeouts represented a season-high for Manaea, and it was also the third time this season in which he struck out at least 10 batters. The left-hander has fanned at least six in six straight outings, a span in which he has posted three quality starts and where he owns a 3.57 ERA through 35.1 innings. His next start is scheduled for next week on the road against the Padres.

Manaea took the no-decision in Friday's 5-4 win over Cleveland, allowing three runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea held Cleveland scoreless through four innings but allowed a Roberto Perez solo home run in the fifth and permitted three baserunners and one run in the sixth before departing. The lefty broke out of his four-start losing streak and has now allowed three runs or less in 10 of his last 11 starts, pitching to a 3.28 ERA on the season.

Manaea will start Friday's game against Cleveland, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chris Bassitt was initially slated to pitch the series opener, with Manaea set to toe the rubber Saturday. The A's will instead go with the southpaw Friday followed by Frankie Montas on Saturday. The shuffle is possibly due to Bassitt throwing 24 pitches in Tuesday's All-Star Game, though the club has yet to officially comment on the change. Bassitt could still be in line to start Sunday's series finale.

Manaea (6-6) allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and no walks while striking out six across 6.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Manaea was undone by two home runs, with a three-run shot by Jose Altuve being the big blow. However, he was fairly solid otherwise and was able to work deep into the game to offset the damage. Though he's now taken a loss in each of of his last four outings, Manaea has maintained a 3.91 ERA with 30 strikeouts across 23 innings in that span. Overall, he has a 3.19 ERA with a 108:25 K:BB across 104.1 frames on the campaign.

Manaea (6-5) took the loss Thursday against Texas, allowing four runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings. He had six strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Home runs by Nate Lowe in the fourth inning and Joey Gallo in the fifth broke things open for the Rangers, who managed to put 10 runners on base against Manaea on the day. It was the third straight loss for the lefty despite a 24:6 KK:BB over 16.1 innings during that stretch. Manaea will take a 3.13 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into his next scheduled start, projected to come next week in Houston.

Manaea (6-4) suffered the loss against San Francisco on Friday despite allowing only one run on three hits and three walks across six innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander pitched well in the battle of Bay Area teams, but he was outdueled by Giants starter Johnny Cueto, who held Oakland scoreless over seven frames. Manaea finished with his seventh straight start of three or fewer runs, and he has lowered his ERA from 4.40 to 2.91 since a disastrous two-inning, seven-run appearance against Boston on May 13. He is on pace for a career-best 9.3 K/9 and 0.8 HR/9, helping him to his finest campaign to date. Manaea's next start is lined up to come at home against the Rangers next week.
