Sean Manaea takes the loss vs. Rockies on Tuesday

Sean Manaea took the loss on Tuesday when he allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out seven and walking one across 5 2/3 innings in Oakland's 3-1 loss to Colorado.

Fantasy Impact

Manaea was sharp early in the game as he retired the first six batters he faced and only allowed three Rockies' to reach through the first four innings. A two-run blast off the bat of Elias Diaz in the fifth inning and a Josh Fuentes sac fly in the sixth accounted for all of Colorado's runs. Oakland couldn't get much going offensively so Manaea took his first loss since July 31st. After a rough start to the season the left-hander has really turned it around over the last month with a 2.25 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across five starts. He rarely pitches deep enough to get a quality start, he only has one so far this season, but he's been a reliable low WHIP arm in fantasy leagues and will look to keep it rolling in his next start at the Dodgers.
