Gray has pitched 14.2 consecutive scoreless innings over his last two starts, and pitched 6.2 no-hit innings on Saturday against the Athletics.
said.The way Gray described it: the slider he’s thrown in his last two outings has a sharper break, and is “a little bit more like a fastball” rather than the sweeper he’d thrown before that “feels more like a curveball.” The velocity numbers reflect that. He threw it in spring training, ditched it once the regular season began and brought it back into his repertoire against the Mariners.
“It’s going to be a cleaner pitch,” said Gray, who added that he likes the feel of the pitch in his hands. “I don’t think there’s going to be as many mess ups with it.”Gray retired the first nine Oakland batters he faced before Esteury Ruiz worked a leadoff walk in the fourth. He stole second and advanced to third on an errant throw, but Gray induced a flyout, strikeout and a groundout to strand Oakland’s speedy leadoff hitter at third.
