Manoah put two runners on in the top of the first with one out, belting Trey Mancini and delivering a walk to Rougned Odor but he struck out two to get out of the inning.  

A wild third inning put runners at first and third with two out but on the 1-0 pitch Odor flied out to left field and Manoah was out of the inning.

His performance lowered his ERA to a team-best 1.67 which also ranks third in Major League Baseball while his eight wins places him second in the league.
