Gray Throws 7 Strong Inning in Majors-Leading 17th Win, Red Sox Beat Orioles 5-0
On Saturday, Boston Red Sox pitcher Sonny Gray threw seven scoreless innings, earning his majors-leading 17th victory in a 5-0 shutout of the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
The Red Sox had instructed the 36-year-old Gray to skip his last start, a decision that proved prescient as he allowed just three hits while striking out seven Orioles.
Boston's offense broke a 13-inning scoreless drought in the sixth inning when Eli White's two-run single and Connor Wong's RBI hit provided crucial support, followed by Isiah Kiner-Falefa's two-run double.
With the victory, the Red Sox improved to 78-65 and claimed a 3-0 series lead, while the Orioles fell to 69-74 after their fifth consecutive defeat.
In Sunday's series finale, the Red Sox will start rookie left-hander Payton Tolle as he seeks to extend his personal unbeaten run to 11 starts and clinch a sweep.
