The Oakland A’s went 17-9 in June, and their starting rotation was a leading factor behind that success. Now one has been recognized nationally for the strong effort, with far more than the Team Trident.
On Friday the A’s announced that Sean Manaea was named AL Pitcher of the Month for June.
In five starts, Manaea allowed a total of four runs. The lefty began the month by tossing a shutout in Seattle, then extended that scoreless streak to 16 innings before finally snapping it in his third start. He finished up with strong efforts at Yankee Stadium and then Oracle Park against the MLB-best Giants.
