No walks, season-high strikeout tally as Alek Manoah makes his Blue Jays return

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 09:23:40 GMT

When Alek Manoah last pitched in the MLB, he was sporting a 6.36 ERA and lasted just a third of an inning after allowing six runs in that span. He was optioned to the Florida Complex League shortly after.On Friday, in Manoah’s much-anticipated return to the majors against the Detroit Tigers, his game was significantly improved. Allowing only one run across six innings, Manoah did not walk a batter and struck out a season-high eight as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tigers 12-2 for their fourth straight victory. Over his 91 pitches, 61 were strikes and he allowed just five hits.Alek Manoah's night is done: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 Ks He threw 61 of 94 pitches for strikes, averaged 92.7 mph with his four-seam fastball, looked more comfortable in his delivery & had some swagger on the mound. Still stuff to work on, but a very strong return #BlueJays— Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) July 8, 2023While this might not be an indication that the 25-year-old is com...

ATLANTA (AP) — An investigator with a metro Atlanta county prosecutor’s office was shot and wounded by another motorist while driving Friday evening, police said, and a widespread search was launched for the suspect using helicopters, canines and road patrols. Initial information indicated the investigator with the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office was not on duty at the time and a motive for the shooting was not yet known, Sgt. Michele Pihera, a county police spokeswoman, said.The investigator was apparently shot in the leg at an intersection shortly after 6 p.m., but he was talking with authorities at a hospital and his life was not in danger, Pihera said at a news briefing. Investigators didn’t know whether it may have been “a road rage incident” or he may have been deliberately targeted or shot for some other reason, Pihera said. There were no “overt signs” or markings on the car to suggest he was an employee of the District Attorney’s office, she added.“It doesn’...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 09:23:40 GMT

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — A court-ordered review of Guatemala’s June 25 presidential election that included a second look at dozens of precinct tally sheets appears to have upheld the original vote totals, an electoral official said Friday.If candidates Sandra Torres and upstart Bernardo Arévalo remain the two highest vote-getters in the re-examination, it will boost the likelihood that their one-two finish in the first round will stand and that the two candidates will head to a run-off election Aug. 20. Asked about the vote tally review during a news conference Friday, Magistrate Gabriel Aguilera of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal praised the precinct panels of regular citizens responsible for tallying votes and told them not to be discouraged by critics of their work.“In an exercise of civic responsibility, they watched over the vote of each Guatemalan and with the results of the second hearings … they confirm the June 25 results,” Aguilera said. “This has to be emphasized and su...
