having recorded just one out, and he would wind up taking a loss for the sixth time in seven starts. Three weeks later, Manoah was back out on a mound, facing teenagers in rookie ball and getting similar results: 11 runs allowed in 2 2/3 innings. The edge seemed to be back in New Hampshire, which is what the Jays needed to see. “When he’s at his best, he’s enjoying what he’s doing … he’s very invested into every pitch, competes at an extremely high level. “This year, it would take three, four, five at-bats, sometimes two, three, four innings,” Manoah said.
