As for Manaea, he’s done pretty well himself lately. Manaea is 2-0 in his last three starts with six earned runs in 17.0 combined innings.

On Saturday the Giants pulled off the improbable comeback with with a stellar output in the 10th inning. Mike Yastrzemski led the way on three RBI, and Patrick Bailey added two RBI with a run. I like San Francisco to ride that momentum into the finale.
