Sonny Gray Dominates Red Sox at Fenway

0:00On April 7th, Sonny Gray stepped up big for the Cardinals at Fenway Park, tossing six innings of two-run ball on just 87 pitches while, keeping the game tied against the Red Sox. The crowd started hot with booze after an early double play, but Gray shut them down quick by pounding the strike zone and mixing speeds like a pro. He dominated right-handed hitters by working everything to their glove side, leaning heavy on cutters that landed 60% strikes in backdoor. At 63%, even when his sweeper commands slipped a bit, he forced grounders and weak contact without giving up barrels. Against lefties, Gray balanced his attack with forcing fastballs up and in, paired with curves, cutters, and sneaky changeups on the edges.

Many moments showed his edge, like backdoring sinkers to ground out threats, fooling young lefties with changeup speed tricks, and burying a nasty sweeper that swept 18 inches across
