Manaea dazzles as Mets blank Twins for another win
On a day that saw the Mets choose not to make any big trades for starting pitching, Sean Manaea played the role of ace as the Mets shut out the Twins for their second win in as many nights.
Manaea went seven innings, didn’t allow any runs, gave up just two hits, struck out eleven, and issued only one walk. He needed just 96 pitches to accomplish all of that, and he did so against a Twins team that has been one of the highest-scoring squads in baseball this year. It was undoubtedly his best start as a Met thus far, and he now has a 3.50 ERA.
