'This Guy's Got Big Cojones': Charlie Montoyo Commends Manoah's Gutsy Effort

After watching Alek Manoah battle through six innings on Monday night, Charlie Montoyo had some high praise for his rookie.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo always enjoys watching Alek Manoah pitch, but especially so during Monday's 2-1 win.

"This guy's got big cojones," Montoyo said of Manoah. "'I'm telling you right now, that's why it's so easy to send them back with 90-something pitches because he's gonna give you all he's got.

"I love this guy ... He comes and gets people out and comes to the bench and is rooting for his teammates. It doesn't get any better than this kid. He's been great."
