There are some things you just never want to see. A “60 Minutes” film crew at your front door. Basement furniture floating after a hard rain. And maybe above all, two-out walks.
Just ask Yankees starter Sonny Gray.
“Two out walks will always hurt you and today, you saw,” Gray said after he followed two strong outings with a bit of a clunker Wednesday. “Two-out walks are never good. They can escalate, and that’s what happened.”
Gray lasted five innings, which was somewhat commendable after he labored through a 34-pitch first inning that only seemed to take forever in the Yankees’ eventual 5-4 loss to the Nationals at Yankee Stadium Wednesday.
