Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah certainly went out loud in the final at-bats of his start on Saturday against the Red Sox.
The righty struck out three straight Red Sox hitters after giving up a single to Alex Verdugo to start the sixth inning and keep the Blue Jays’ lead at 3-1. It only took Manoah three pitches to get Xander Bogaerts out, getting the shortstop to whiff at an inside changeup for strike three.
Manoah struck out Franchy Cordero on an inside slider in the following at-bat. After winning the five-pitch battle, Manoah seemed to have said some words to himself on the mound, causing Cordero to stare in his direction.
