MESA, Ariz. -- Sean Manaea had an impressive outing in the Cactus League on Sunday, but it wasn't enough for the Oakland A's to overcome the White Sox in a 6-2 loss. Manaea struck out seven batters and walked two in 3u2154 innings of work, and allowed a pair of runs on a 1st-inning homer by Quadruple-A masher Jerry Sands. According to scouts I talked to, his fastball operated around 92-94 mph (one said he hit 95) with his slider living around 79-80 mph.
After the game, Manaea said that he made adjustments throughout the outing after trying to aim the ball in his rocky 1st inning.
