WHAT RED SOX FANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SONNY GRAY

5/4/2014

The Red Sox and Oakland A's are just starting their final game of the 3 game series.  So far Boston has won both games by having some great starting pitching combine with some powerful hitting.  After being pretty miserable with runners in scoring position, the Red Sox have been sending guys home via the home run ball.
Today, home runs may be a little hard to comeby.  The Red Sox will be facing righty Sonny Gray.  This will be Gray's first time pitching against the Red Sox.  Obviously, this will be his first start at Fenway Park.  In his first season in the MLB, Sonny is making quite the name for himself.  In his last game out he pitched a complete game shutout against the Texas Rangers.  Sonny's main pitches are his 93 mph four seam fastball and his 81 mph curve ball.

Overall this season Gray has a 1.76 ERA and 4-1 record.  The opening day starter likes to keep the ball down and inside to lefties and outside to righties.  In his 41 inning pitched this season, Gray has only served up 1 home run and 14 walks while striking out 37 batters.
Pitching for the Red Sox today is John Lackey.  Lackey has been pitching pretty well this year.  His past two starts have both gone 8 innings.  Heading into the game Lackey had only given up 8 walks.  With the top of the first inning over, Lackey has added another walk and run to hit totals.
