Though he took the loss, Manaea pitched pretty well to everyone on the Milwaukee Brewers except former Oakland Athletics star Chris Carter.
Manaea got tagged for five earned runs, all of the runs came by way of two homers off the bat of Carter. Manaea’s last road start was in Boston where he gave up eight earned runs in 2.2 innings. So his “road era” is going to be pretty bad.
Nevertheless, I felt Manaea pitched with great effectiveness except for two bad pitches to Carter. Manaea is a young pitcher, but he seems to be learning from every start.
