Alek Manoah will return to action on Sunday with the Toronto Blue Jays, but in the meantime, they scored a nice 6-3 victory over the Nationals on Saturday in Washington.
The American experienced a descent into hell last year after being a candidate for the Cy-Young trophy in the American League. Injuries and performances well below expectations forced him to play in the minor leagues, without much success.

It’s not going better for Manoah in 2024, he who shows an earned run average of 8.69 in five games with the Jays’ subsidiaries, but he will nevertheless obtain the confidence of his manager for Sunday’s meeting against the “Nats” . This will be his first start since August 10.
In today’s duel, Kevin Gausman (2-3) did not allow a run during his five and a third innings on the mound, striking out eight batters in the process. His relievers got the job done this time, even if closer Jordan Romano wasn’t as solid as usual.
The Blue Jays took a 4-0 lead in the first inning thanks to runs from Justin Turner, Daniel Vogelbach and Danny Jansen. Washington attempted a comeback, but Kevin Kiermaier made it 6-2 in the eighth with his first home run of the year.
Frustration was felt in the fifth round for Bo Bichette, who is having a very difficult start to the campaign. After being struck out, he threw his helmet and the official threw him out of the game without warning, which didn’t sit well with manager John Schneider.
And 12
At Target Field, the Twins extended their winning streak to 12 by beating the Boston Red Sox 3-1.
Édouard Julien was discreet in this meeting with a walk and a strikeout in two appearances at the plate. Rather, it was Carlos Correa, with two RBIs, and Max Kepler and his solo home run who took charge on the offensive side.
