Manaea Shines in Mets Loss, Stretching Out

0:00It's April 3rd. From game day to every day, this is New York Met's news today, powered by AI. Sean Manayah stepped up big for the Met's in their loss to the Giants, pitching 3.2 innings in relief and giving the bullpen a break. He allowed just one run on four hits and two walks against his old team, showing he could eat innings when needed. David Peterson had struggled early, giving up six runs in 4.1 innings, so Manayah came in during a stretch of six straight games with no off. Day until Monday. That link was huge, especially after he navigated a tough 7th where the base is loaded up. Manager Carlos Mendoza was impressed, calling it a positive step with plenty of good signs in how Manayah threw. Manayah himself fell locked in by the 8th, happy to grind through and help the squad like family. Velocity remains a watch point, down from last year but ticking up a bit into the high 80s thanks to tweaks he's making. He threw 74 pitches, more than the plan 50 to 60 which helps stretch him out.

1:00As talks swirl about the rotation spot, Manayah stays selfless, ready to contribute wherever keeping options open for the Met's moving forward.
