Alek Manoah Dominant in Return

Toronto Blue Jays rookie pitcher Alek Manoah had a strong outing following his return from the 10-day injured list.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah returned to the mound and tossed seven scoreless innings in a 4-0 win over the Kansas City Royals. The rookie right-hander was activated from the 10-day injured list before the game after slipping in the dugout and suffered a bruised back following the All-Star break.

The former West Virginia hurler currently holds a 3-1 record and a 2.47 ERA on the season.
