Mets' Sean Manaea strikes out four in second rehab start with High-A Brooklyn

Mets left-hander Sean Manaea had a solid second rehab start Tuesday night in Coney Island as he works his way back from an oblique injury.

After allowing four runs (three earned) in 1.2 innings on Friday, Manaea bounced back to deal 2.2 scoreless innings.

Of course, his outing got off to an auspicious start, as he plunked left-handed batting Joseph Sullivan on the second pitch he threw. Manaea allowed a steal of second on his third pitch before getting a flyout to right, but an infield single to first put runners on the corners with one out. A ball in the dirt put two in scoring position, but the Mets' lefty got a strikeout swinging and a pop-up to right to end the threat.

Manaea got to pitch with a lead after the Cyclones plated two runs in the home half of the first inning, and after retiring the first two of the frame, adding a second strikeout swinging, he issued his first walk of his rehab before recording another strikeout swinging on a nasty breaking pitch.

In his final inning of the night, the lefty sandwiched an infield single to short around another swinging strikeout on a breaking pitch and a pop out to third base.

Manaea threw 46 pitches (31 strikes) to get 10 outs, allowing one hit, one walk, a hit-by-pitch, and striking out four.
