Sonny Gray started for the Triple-A Nashville Sounds on Thursday, his second minor league rehab start this season, and for the second time he dominated the lesser competition. According to the team’s insiders, he could be back with the Oakland A’s next week to start against the Twins.
In his latest rehab outing, Sonny tossed six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. Combined with his start for High-A Stockton on Saturday, his total numbers are: 11 ip, 0 runs, 13 Ks, 0 BB, 3 hits (all singles). That’s about as close to perfection as a human pitcher can get.
