Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:26:20 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sonny Gray made it through five scoreless innings on Saturday. But it was anything but smooth for the veteran starter.After a quick seven-pitch first inning, he faced traffic in the final four frames of his start in a game the Twins would go on to win 2-0 over the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Some of that was his own doing.“Didn’t have great stuff and didn’t have good command at all,” Gray said. “It just felt a tick off.”So it came as somewhat of a gift in the third inning when, after walking the bases loaded, Royals designated hitter Franmil Reyes was rung up for a pitch-clock violation for not being ready in time, which caused an automatic strike to be added to the count.All of a sudden, in the biggest moment of his start, Gray’s job suddenly became easier through nothing of his own doing.“It’s 0-1 and you can start expanding the zone a little earlier than maybe you would have,” Gray said. “He saw one less pitch throughout that. … It worked out on our side, so it...
