Manoah mania didn’t exactly run wild at Rogers Centre Saturday, but an important step forward was forged for the Blue Jays pitcher.

Then, when he started asking me if I wanted to stay in the game I was like: ‘Maybe Pete didn’t come out here?’ I wasn’t sure. I told him I wanted to stay in the game and pleaded my case.
Unsettling and yet unscathed, it was far from a typical first inning for Manoah. To say he did not look completely comfortable would be an understatement. His pitches were sailing high and at one point with a runner on base, he seemed to lose his footing on the mound and was charged with a balk.Article content
The second of those runs came from a home run to leadoff man Cedric Mullins, which originally was ruled a double but was then confirmed by video review.Manoah walked only one in his 5.2 innings, a big improvement on his previous outing against the Yankees when he issued a career-high seven free passes.
“His bat has been pretty consistent the past few days,’’ said Schneider of Springer. “He’s hitting the ball hard, a double , a homer . I think his at-bats are kind of what we’re used to seeing.”Article content
