The Boston Red Sox 's rotation has been shorthanded lately with injuries, but on Wednesday, it got a key arm back in Sonny Gray . After suffering a right hamstring strain during his last start on April 20, Gray spent the minimum 15 days on the injured list before returning. He didn't even make a rehab start, and based on how he pitched against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, he didn't need one.
The three-time All-Star was excellent in the series finale, tossing five scoreless innings against the Tigers and outdueling Jack Flaherty at Comerica Park. He scattered four hits and two walks, struck out two and threw 44 of his 70 pitches for strikes, propelling his team to a sweep-clinching 4-0 victory over Detroit. Very solid start for Sonny Gray, who didn’t make a rehab start before returning from the IL.
