Daniel Manquero made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up four earned (and three unearned) runs off 12 hits. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2024. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances. Manquero is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season.
