Battles command in no-decision Manaea allowed three runs on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts through 1.2 innings, taking a no-decision in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Cleveland. Impact On an extremely humid night in Cleveland, Manaea struggled dearly with his command. Despite pulverizing the rosin bag in search of any iota of extra grip, the left-hander needed 69 pitches to get five outs and worked himself into five full counts. While this is the second consecutive rough outing for the 29-year-old, the conditions played a huge part in Tuesday night's meltdown. Manaea and fantasy managers alike will be glad to know that his next start will come in the climate-controlled confines of Globe Life Field against the lowly Rangers on Sunday.
