Sean Manaea Earns Win Despite Rough Outing At Kansas City

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea didn't have his best game on Wednesday night, but the offense bailed him out and the left-hander gutted his way through five innings to secure his 10th victory.

Ranger Suarez Whiffs Eight Cubs In No-Decision

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez allowed two runs across six innings with eight strikeouts in his latest strong start.
