Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah is one of the more lively personalities in baseball. That personality was on display at the All-Star Game, especially when Manoah was mic’d up on the mound. It was great.
But that was just an exhibition game. Actual competition gets Manoah really fired up, and the Boston Red Sox almost seemed to be caught off guard by it all.
During Saturday’s game between the Blue Jays and Red Sox at Fenway Park, Manoah gave up a second-inning home run and fourth-inning single to Bobby Dalbec. That was on Manoah’s mind when Dalbec stepped to the plate in the sixth inning with two outs.
