    Sonny Gray kept the Yankees hitless into the eighth and recorded his 2,000th career strikeout on Sunday Night Baseball.

    Gray was removed immediately after Amed Rosario’s single up the middle with one out in the eighth. Tyron Guerrero replaced him and got out of the inning from there. It’s the deepest Gray has ever carried a no-no, and his ninth and final strikeout of the night gave him 2,000 for his career. He’s tied with Andy Benes on the all-time list there, having passed Billy Pierce and Kevin Appier tonight. He’s seventh among active pitchers in strikeouts and fifth with 134 victories. He’ll face the Angels next weekend.

    Gray scattered four hits, with one of those being a solo homer by Josh Lowe. He struck out seven against two walks, and he found the zone on 48-of-70 pitches. It wasn’t quite as good as the no-hit bid he had in his previous outing against New York, but it’s another solid outing that sees Gray lower his ERA to 2.61 with a deserved 10-1 record. We’re just as confused as everyone else how that’s not an All-Star, but he’ll make his final start before the break against the Mets on Friday.

    Gray was excellent against the Rockies in Coors Field, holding them to one run over seven frames. The lone run came on a solo homer by Willi Castro in the second inning. He scattered five other hits and three walks, limiting damage by punching out 11 batters. The 36-year-old right-hander will take a 2.95 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 66/20 K/BB ratio across 76 1/3 innings into a start against the Yankees in Boston on Sunday.

    Homers from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the first and Nathan Lukes in the seventh bookended the outing. Gray allowed six hits, walked one and struck out four. It’s his sixth quality start in his last seven tries, though the Red Sox fell to 9-4 in his starts. He’ll face the Rockies in Coors Field next week, but he still seems like a solid enough play. It’ll be just his second career start there; he allowed one run over seven innings and struck out nine while pitching for the Reds there in 2019.

    The Rangers put up three hits on Gray in the first inning, with the first run coming around to score on an RBI single by Wyatt Langford. It would be the only run Gray would allow on the night, as the veteran righty locked in to fire five-straight scoreless frames while allowing just two hits and no free passes. Gray has allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts and has made it through six innings in five of those outings. He remains as reliable an option as any and is scheduled to make his next start on Thursday at home against the Blue Jays.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #54
    He was facing the Bombers in Yankee Stadium for the first time since an offseason interview about how much he dislikes his former team. Gray gave up two homers and six other hits while allowing two walks and striking out only three, but he really limited the damage in improving to 7-1 with a 3.20 ERA on the year. A couple of double plays, one on a Paul Goldschmidt grounder and another on an Anthony Volpe liner, helped there. Gray due to face the Rays in St. Pete next week.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #54
    The run came right away on back-to-back doubles from Travis Bazzana and José Ramírez to start the first, but it was smooth sailing after that. Gray fanned seven, including six with his sweeper. He’ll take a 3.06 ERA into his next start, which should be a fun one. He’ll pitch in Yankee Stadium for the first time since talking in a December interview about how much he hates the Yankees.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #54
    Gray gave up six hits, walked two and struck out four. He threw 75 pitches and was removed after four innings. Danny Coulombe started the fifth inning. Gray struck out nine batters in his last start, flashing the upside he’s had over the course of his career. He hasn’t gone more than six innings in any of his nine starts this year and has thrown 70-80 pitches in each of his last four starts. Gray is lined up to face the Guardians on the road next weekend.

    Gray was plenty effective in his first two starts since coming off the injured list, but it was nice to see the strikeout ability return tonight. He got five on his sweeper alone. Gray had a 30 percent strikeout rate in 2024 and came in at 27 percent last season, but coming into tonight, he was at just 15 percent in his seven starts this year. The victory makes him 5-1 with a 2.93 ERA. He’ll face the Twins on Sunday.

    Gray walked one in his second start back from a hamstring injury. It’s the first time he has cleared five strikeouts in a game, as his swing-and-miss has been curiously absent since joining Boston. He entered Wednesday with a 12.6 K%, easily the lowest of his career. The 36-year-old will look to keep the momentum going in his next appearance, lined up on the road in Kansas City.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #54
    Tyler Samaniego, Zack Kelly and Greg Weissert finished up for the Red Sox. Gray had just two strikeouts and two swings-and-misses tonight in his return from the injured list, but most of the contact was soft, and when got into big trouble by loading the bases in the second, Wilyer Abreu bailed him out with a terrific sliding catch on a Jace Jung liner to right. Gray moved to 3-1 with a 3.54 ERA in six starts. He’ll get the Phillies next week.

    Jarren Duran went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk as the Red Sox topped the Angels 7-5 on Sunday night.

    The homer was his 13th, so power production hasn’t really been his issue. However, Duran came into this one hitless in his previous four games. It was his first multihit game since June 16 and his first time reaching base safely three times in a game since May 30. His OBP is sitting at .259, compared to .346, .342 and .332 the previous three years.

    Aroldis Chapman surrendered his first homer of the year but still picked up his 18th save Sunday against the Angels.

    Chapman gave up a solo shot to Zach Neto while pitching with a three-run lead. He struck out two of the other three batters he faced. Chapman, who was picked for his ninth All-Star team on Saturday, has a 2.36 ERA and a 35/12 K/BB through 26 2/3 innings.

    Ryan Johnson surrendered five runs — two earned — in four innings Sunday in a loss to the Red Sox.

    Johnson gave up a two-run homer in the second and a three-run blast in the third, but the runs from the latter were all unearned after a Zach Neto error extended the inning. It brings Johnson’s total of homers allowed to eight in 28 1/3 innings this season and 12 in 43 innings total as a major leaguer. He’s definitely throwing better now than he has at any other point since debuting with the Angels, but he remains far away from contributing in fantasy leagues. He’ll likely face the Twins on Saturday.

    Willson Contreras hit a three-run homer and walked against the Angels in Sunday’s victory.

    Contreras’s 20th homer came in his 86th game of the season. Last year, he hit 20 in 135 games for the Cardinals. He’s now just four shy of his career high from 2019, when he hit 24 in 105 games for the Cubs. Unfortunately, this might be Contreras’s last action for a bit. MLB is expected to hand down a decision on his appeal of a seven-game suspension on Monday. Even if it’s dropped to six games, that’d still put him out until after the break.

    Zach Neto finished 3-for-5 with a homer and a double against the Red Sox on Sunday night.

    Neto hit the first homer allowed by Aroldis Chapman this season, sending a 96.5-mph fastball 396 feet to left. It was his 19th homer, which is second behind Colson Montgomery at 23 among those who primarily play shortstop. He’s hit nine in his last 27 games.

    After four straight hitless games, Jo Adell went 3-for-4 with two RBI against the Red Sox on Sunday.

    None of Adell’s hits left the bat at over 84 mph, but he managed a couple of liners that dropped in front of infielders and a groundball single. Adell had been in a 1-for-21 slump that dropped his average to .239.

    Ranger Suarez left his start Sunday with left adductor tightness, according to the Red Sox.

    One imagines Suarez will be placed on the IL prior to Tuesday’s game. Even if this is minor, a 15-day IL stint would cost him just one start next weekend and allow him to return the fifth day after the All-Star break.

    Manny Machado hit a three-run homer and walked three times as the Padres beat the Dodgers 5-2 on Sunday Night Baseball.

    Machado was intentionally walked with two on and two out in the fifth, after which Jack Dreyer got Gavin Sheets to ground out. He came up again with two on in the seventh, but this time there was a righty in the game, no base open and one out. He was pitched to, and he homered just over the wall in center on an 0-2 middle-middle fastball from Kyle Hurt. It was Machado’s fourth homer in eight games and sixth in 14 games.

    JP Sears blanked the Dodgers five innings to earn a win on Sunday Night Baseball.

    Sears gave up six hard-hit balls but just one hit, which was a single from Miguel Rojas in the fifth. He also threw first-pitch strikes to only eight of 17 batters. Still, he was very successful, obviously. The victory makes him 2-1 with a 4.70 ERA in his three starts for the Padres this year. He’ll probably stay in the rotation for now and face the Blue Jays next weekend.

    Mason Miller was perfect in the ninth for his 22nd save Sunday against the Dodgers.

    Miller got one strikeout tonight, which was actually his first in three appearances. He averaged 102.1 mph with his 10 fastballs. Miller has pitched on back-to-back days now, so he might be iffy for Monday. The Padres did use him three straight days once back in April.
