Escapes with no-decision Manning didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Twins, giving up four runs on five hits and a walk over five-plus innings. He struck out four. Impact The rookie didn't pitch too badly through five innings, but Brent Rooker led off the sixth with a solo shot and Manning walked Jorge Polanco before getting the hook, with Jose Cisnero then allowing the inherited runner to score. Manning remains a work in progress, but he has worked at least five innings in each of his last three starts, posting a 3.94 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB through 16 frames over that stretch.
