GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Reds Right-hander Sonny Gray was positively effusive after his spring debut. He went two innings and allowed no runs and only two hits in a 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners Wednesday. He walked none and struck out three.
“Man, I was excited for today,” he said. “It was nice. I was trying to throw my fastball and just rip it. I checked a lot of boxes. I got my mind right, able to compete. It was good. I wish I could get a leadoff hitter out. But other than that. I did all the things.
