Despite having ace Sean Manaea on the mound the A’s were unable to take the series from the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night at Safeco Field in Seattle. The Mariners won the series two games to one, defeating the A’s in the final game by a score of 4-1.
Sean Manaea:
Overall, A’s starter Sean Manaea pitched well. He had a few control issues at times and after his last three or even his first six starts of the season, it is possible to be critical in comparison. Manaea came into tonight’s game having not allowed more than two runs in any of his previous six starts of the 2018 season.
