OAKLAND, Calif. -- Its been three months since Oakland As rookie left-hander Sean Manaea faced the Seattle Mariners in his second career major league start. Try as he might, Manaea cant forget the 1-0 fastball he threw to Mariners slugger Nelson Cruz with a runner on base in the fifth inning.Cruz sent Manaeas pitch some 435 feet into the second deck in center field at the Oakland Coliseum. It was a monster shot that landed in an area that home runs rarely reach in Oakland.I gave up a bomb to Nelson Cruz, Manaea said. Its probably still going. I try to forget about those hits.Manaea will face the Mariners on Friday for the first time since that May 4 game. He gave up seven hits and four runs -- all in the fifth inning -- and got a no-decision in a 9-8 As loss. Manaea struck out six and walked one.And yes, hes looking forward to a rematch against Cruz and the Mariners.Hes pretty scary in the box, Manaea said. Hes huge. Theyre playing good baseball right now and were playing good baseball. So it will be a fun matchup.I know Im going to face him a lot more throughout my career. Its nice to get him again.Manaea is 3-7 with a 4.58 ERA overall, but hes gone 1/3 with a 3.12 ERA in eight games, including seven starts, since being activated from the disabled list June 29 after recovering from a strained left forearm.Manaea has allowed 16 home runs overall, including five over his past three starts and two in each of his previous two outings.The guys up here are really, really good and if you make a mistake theyre going to make you pay, Manaea said. Thats something Ive got to focus on in growing as a player is minimizing mistakes, try to focus on every pitch to make it the best I can.Cruz and Robinson Cano each hit solo home runs Wednesday when the Mariners defeated Detroit 3-1 to sweep the three-game series and win their sixth straight game.
