Fans booed Manoah as he was relieved before the end of the first inning
Julks, with only four home runs in his MLB career, ambushed a 94.2 mph two-seamer from Manoah on the first pitch of the AB, producing a 386-foot grand slam to put Houston ahead 6-0.Manoah was provided with an opportunity to right the ship after one massive swing unloaded the bases. But after consecutive 100-plus mph screamers landed for hits, Blue Jays manager John Schneider had no choice but to pull the hook on his struggling righty.
The 25-year-old’s final pitching line was far from pretty, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk in just one-third of an inning — becoming just the second Blue Jays pitcher to record such a horrific outing.Following Monday’s miserable outing, Manoah’s ERA jumped to 6.36 — the seventh-highest in the majors — on the season over 58.0 innings in 13 starts. He also owns an MLB-high 6.53 FIP and 14.9% home-run-to-fly-ball ratio, which are by far the worst of his career.
Toronto is the only MLB franchise to have used just five starters this season, but amid Manoah’s never-ending woes, that streak may soon come to an end.
