Definitely to my surprise, and also slightly to my concern, Alek Manoah returns! And yet my concern is demonstrably misplaced: a run on eight hits, no walks, and strikeouts in six complete? Even against the somewhat slight lineup like the Tigers are fielding this year, that is super encouraging. And he didn't even need to be all that good, given the extent to which the boys elected to bop: Merrifield's third homerun in two days! a Springer dinger! three more hits for Bo! What a lovely ballpark, too. Just a really good and nice game of Blue Jays baseball start to finish. If Manoah is even fifth-starter-good the rest of the way, it will be a huge boost in the second half, and if he's anything more than that, we could really "make some noise" in the rapidly tightening AL East (the Rays are losing sort of often now).
