Schoop’s single jump deflected Manoah towards shortstop Santiago Espinal, who managed to get out first as Manoah left the back of the mound, wincing in pain.

Following a conversation with an athletic trainer, a frustrated Manoah walked off the field. He was replaced by left-hander Tim Mayza.

Manoah allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and pulled out four.

Manoah went 9-2 with a 3.22 ERA in 20 starts as a rookie last season.
