This was probably the most dominant start we’ve seen from a Reds starting pitcher this season, and it came from a guy that Reds management would’ve expected it to come from when they traded and signed him prior to this season.
Gray’s final line: 8 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 12 K.
The one walk came with two outs in the 8th inning; it was only the third time all night Gray had run up a three ball count. The 12 strikeouts for Sonny matches a career high he set as an Oakland Athletic, all the way back in 2014.
