Chad Tracy Gets Honest About Sonny Gray After Red Sox Win originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox needed Sonny Gray to halt a concerning personal trend Wednesday night. Instead, the veteran starter delivered a performance that looked like it came straight from his prime. Gray silenced the first-place Chicago White Sox over six innings in Boston's 4-0 victory, helping the Red Sox extend their winning streak to seven games. He allowed only three hits and two walks while striking out eight, improving his record to an outstanding 14-2.
It was quite the response from the 36-year-old after he surrendered nine earned runs over 12 innings in his previous two starts.
Gray looked comfortable from the opening pitch, mixing his breaking pitches effectively and repeatedly convincing Chicago hitters to chase below the strike zone.
"I thought he was awesome," Tracy said, per MLB.com's Ian Browne. "Very, very locked in and determined from the time he got here, and he executed his pitches, had his spin pretty much whenever he wanted to."
