OAKLAND, Calif. -- Oakland A's right-hander Sonny Gray earned his third win of the season on April 22 against Toronto in just his fourth start.
Gray had to wait 85 days and 13 starts to get win No. 4, allowing three runs over six innings in a 5-4 victory Saturday against the Blue Jays. He'll try to make it back-to back wins Thursday night when the A's open a four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays and left-hander Matt Moore at the Oakland Coliseum.
"That's the main reason you play this game is to win," said Gray, who finished third in the American League Cy Young Award voting last year.
