Alek Manoah shines, Blue Jays fall short

Alek Manoah delivered a stellar performance, allowing zero earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his strong outing, Manoah was saddled with the loss, a tough pill to swallow given his dominance through the game. This performance was a significant improvement and should help in lowering his elevated ERA of 4.91 and WHIP of 1.36 from his earlier starts this season. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.8 K/9) while controlling the walks better in this game is a positive sign. Fantasy managers should note this performance as a potential turnaround point for Manoah, though his high FIP (6.26) suggests there might still be underlying issues to monitor.
