Alek Manoah Suspended Five Games
Alek Manoah was suspended five games on Tuesday for throwing at Baltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco last Saturday, which triggered a benches-clearing altercation. Manager Charlie Montoyo was suspended for one game, and he will serve it Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. Manoah will appeal his suspension. He gave up back-to-back homers (four total homers in the game) to the Orioles on Saturday before throwing at Franco. The 24-year-old is 1-0 in his first big league season with a 4.18 ERA and 1.14 WHIP while striking out 27 and walking nine in five starts over 23 2/3 innings. If his suspension holds up, he'll be forced to miss his next scheduled start.
