Manoah struggles to escape after three shaky innings for the Blue Jays vs. Rays

The season-long struggles continue for Toronto blue jay right-handed Alek Manoah on Thursday against Rays of Tampa . Bay.

Wounded by familiar control problems and his teammates’ weaker defense, Manoah left the field after throwing 87 shots in three innings and joining his team in a 5-1 lead. Only 44 of his pitches were for strikes.

All-Star 2022 dropped four runs earned with five hits while going five and hitting six. Trevor Richards replaced Manoah in the fourth installment.

Tampa took a 2-1 lead at the end of the first half with the Blue Jays’ defense again failing to play clean baseball.

Center-back Kevin Kiermaier could not stop a tight ball from Wander Franco, leading to a triple goal. He then scored in a Randy Arozarena single.

Catcher Alejandro Kirk then failed to make a third shot and Brandon Lowe finished first after a challenge. Then in the first round, the Blue Jays’ second cavalryman, Cavan Biggio, hit a doubles ball that likely ended the round, leading to another run.

Tampa cashed in another run on the second and two more on the third – including one after a failed shot by Kirk to third in an attempt to steal the base.

Manoah seemed to have gotten off to a slightly better start in his last outing (two runs with six hits with just one walk in 5.2 games against the Baltimore Orioles), but he hasn’t maintained his form. there.

Right-handed people also work slowly, often throwing the ball back to the last second.

Kirk, meanwhile, had his own problems when the Rays stole three bases in three rounds of Manoah.

Manoah’s ERA is up to 5.57 during the season.
