Alek Manoah's struggles continued Monday night as the Toronto Blue Jays starter issued a career-high seven walks in a 7-4 loss to the New York Yankees at Rogers Centre.
The Yankees got to Manoah early as Aaron Judge and Willie Calhoun hit homers in the first inning to stake New York to a three-run lead. Judge added another solo shot in the eighth inning to give him 10 homers on the year.
Manoah has yet to find the form that made him an American League Cy Young Award finalist last season. He has made it to the sixth inning in only two of nine starts and his earned-run average is up to 5.40. The Blue Jays right-hander escaped further damage by getting Anthony Rizzo to hit into an inning-ending double play. But back-to-back walks to open the fifth inning ended Manoah's night.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected in the eighth inning. He appeared to have an issue with home-plate umpire Clint Vondrak's strike zone.
