Sonny Gray was booed out of the Bronx. He's back and trying to save the season for the rival Red Sox
Gray, an 18-game winner with a 2.72 ERA, will try to extend Boston’s season after the Red Sox lost the opener 9-0.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Sonny Gray starts Game 2 on Wednesday against The Yankees, aiming to extend the Wild Card Series after Boston dropped the opener 9-0.
During 2017 and 2018, Gray struggled significantly in New York, losing his rotation spot; he later said, "New York was, it just wasn't a good situation for me."
Approaching 37, Gray tied for the MLB lead with 18 wins this year and recently pitched well at Yankee Stadium, allowing three runs over 6 innings.
Facing The Yankees' Max Fried, Gray seeks to extend the series while reflecting, "I do know that playing here made me a stronger person."
Red Sox teammate Trevor Story praised Gray as "a pitcher to its finest degree," while Gray's 143 wins over 14 seasons reflect a career revival after stints with Cincinnati and Minnesota.
