To say he did not look completely comfortable would be an understatement.
The Jays made a change at catcher, electing to start Danny Jansen over Kirk, who has been Manoah’s unofficial personal battery mate.Manoah has not pitched well this season. “Kirky and Manoah have worked really well together,’’ said Blue Jays manager John Schneider prior to opening pitch. “I think it’s just a good time to change that up.”Article content
