Oakland A’s: Sean Manaea has a chance at redemption

At long last, Sean Manaea is getting his chance at redemption for the Oakland A’s.

He had been handed the ball for the Oakland A’s in their Wild Card matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays in 2019. Although he had missed most of the season due to shoulder surgery, Manaea had dominated over the final month, allowing just four runs on 16 hits and seven walks over his 29.2 innings, striking out 30 batters. It was a risk, as he had just five starts, but a worthwhile gamble for the A’s.

Instead, he was rocked in his outing against the Rays.
