All three of the runs Manaea yielded came in the second inning, highlighted by a Nasim Nunez two-run homer.

Nunez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer during the Nationals' 3-2 win over the Mets on Sunday.

Since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Sept. 1, he has gone 6-for-26 (.231 average) with three home runs, one steal and seven RBI. Nunez should continue to fill a utility role for the Nationals in the final week of the season, with most of his starts likely to come against left-handed pitching.
