Mets’ Sean Manaea exorcises playoff demons with solid start in Game 2 loss
MILWAUKEE — Sean Manaea wasn't dominant. But he was better. Manaea was better than his most recent start, also against the Brewers.

How Sean Manaea transformed into Mets’ unlikely ace

Sean Manaea fails to last five innings in Mets’ blowout win
Sean Manaea’s inconsistent first season with the Mets continued on Wednesday as the left-hander allowed just two runs but couldn’t complete five innings in a 12-3 win over the Yankees in the Bronx.

Mets officials were still working out plans for the starting rotation to begin the second half of the season on Wednesday, but decided Sean Manaea would take the mound on Friday night against the Marlins.
