experience, a tornado of energy and emotion tearing through Fenway Park on a steamy Saturday, triggering everything from alarm to rage over six gripping innings of work.
Quickly, the Blue Jays funnelled their mountain-of-a-man off the field, order remained and they proceeded to lock down a 4-1 victory Saturday, their fifth in a row, improving them to 9-3 against the Red Sox this season.The day after establishing new franchise records with 28 runs and 29 hits, the Blue Jays needed Manoah and the bullpen to be every bit as stingy as it was.
After a brief conference, Manoah remained in the game. Four pitches later, Dalbec sent a slider over the Monster battled his way through the next four frames, including the fateful sixth.Cordero appeared to be the first Red Sox player to take exception, staring out at Manoah and muttering something after swinging through a slider for the second out of the inning. When Manoah noticed, he glared back and told the DH to, and we’ll paraphrase here, go sit the funk down.
