A’s edge Mariners as Manaea outduels Felix

A’s lefty Sean Manaea was on cruise control against the Mariners on Sunday afternoon, working seven innings opposite Seattle ace Felix Hernandez and propelling the A’s to a 2-1 victory at Safeco Field with help from a two-run homer from Jed Lowrie in the first inning. Manaea allowed just two hits in chilly temps, his lone blemish a solo home run to Taylor Motter in the fifth. Hernandez went 6 1/3 innings for the Mariners, allowing two runs and five hits with seven strikeouts.
