Sonny Gray defeats Giants to improve to 16-3

Sonny Gray

BOS Starting Pitcher #54

Player Stats

Sonny Gray picked up his 16th victory of the season on Friday night, limiting the Giants to four runs on seven hits over his six frames.

Gray racked up six strikeouts on the evening while issuing a pair of free passes. The Giants scratched out a run against him in the third inning, then added three more in the fourth on back-to-back homers from Drew Gilbert and Rafael Devers. Gray buckled down after that though and kept them off the board the rest of his night. He got nine swings and misses on 97 pitches on the evening, registering a CSW of 26 percent. Now 16-3 on the year, he’ll carry a stellar 2.79 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 123/36 K/BB ratio (138 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s battle against the Marlins in Miami.

Sonny Gray tossed seven scoreless innings and got the win in the Red Sox’ 4-0 victory over the Pirates on Saturday.

Gray gave up six hits, walked one and struck out seven. He improved to 15-3 with the win. Gray is quietly in the middle of one of the best seasons of his career at age-36. His 2.65 ERA is his first sub-3.00 ERA since 2023 with the Twins and his 15 wins are a career-high. With about six weeks still left in the regular season, he could flirt with 20 wins. Gray will face the Giants at home in his next start on Friday.

Sonny Gray allowed two runs over six innings in a loss to the Blue Jays on Monday.

Gray carried a shutout into the fifth inning before coughing up a solo homer to rookie Charles McAdoo. He surrendered an additional run in the ensuing frame, but managed to strand a couple baserunners to avoid further damage. He finished with four strikeouts and only issued one walk. He’ll square off against the Pirates to wrap up a two-start week on Saturday.

Sonny Gray pitched seven innings of four-run ball for a win against the A’s on Thursday.

The Red Sox didn’t take their first lead until the eighth, but that still worked out for Gray, who picked up his 13th win of the year. He’s tied with Cristopher Sánchez for the major league lead in the category, and he’s just one away from matching his career high of 14, which he set in his first full season in 2014 and matched in 2015 and again in 2025. He’ll face the White Sox next week.

BOS Starting Pitcher #54

Sonny Gray allowed five runs and struck out three batters over five innings in a loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Gray tossed two scoreless innings, stranding two runners in the second inning, but ran into trouble in the third. He recorded two quick outs, then struggled to find the third as the Blue Jays brought five runs in on six consecutive hits, including a three-run blast by George Springer. Gray would give the Red Sox two more scoreless innings, ending his day after five with three strikeouts. It was the first start in which Gray allowed more than three runs since April 14. The 36-year-old right-hander will take a 2.78 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 93/28 K/BB ratio across 106 2/3 innings into a start against the Athletics in Sacramento on Thursday.

Sonny Gray allowed one run in six innings and got the win in the Red Sox’ 6-1 victory over the Rays on Sunday.

Gray gave up five hits, walked four and struck out five. He improved to 12-1 with the win. Gray allowed an inside-the-park home run to Victor Mesa Jr. in the second inning, but otherwise held the Rays scoreless for six innings. He has a 2.48 ERA and 3.67 xFIP. Gray is lined up to face the Blue Jays at home next weekend.

Sonny Gray allowed five hits and one run with one walk and three strikeouts over six innings to earn the win in a 6-2 triumph over the Mets on Friday.

Meant to be tired after the Red Sox’s travel woes between Thursday and Friday, Gray lulled the Mets to sleep here. He didn’t have anything close to his best swing-and-miss stuff and only forced two whiffs, but showed great command of his sinker and used it to wriggle out of a few jams with some timely double plays. After this excellent start, he’ll close the first half with a 2.54 ERA, 85 strikeouts, and 24 walks across 95 2/3 innings. That is the lowest ERA by a qualified pitcher that did not make either All-Star team.

BOS Starting Pitcher #54

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports the Braves have expressed interest in Red Sox RHP Sonny Gray.

The complicating factor here is that the Red Sox may not sell if they turn things around — three wild card teams have been a disincentive for early trades — and they seem to be showing some sparks of life lately. Gray hails from Nashville and would presumably waive his no-trade clause to go to the Braves. It would seem to be a good match, given Atlanta’s banged up rotation, if the Red Sox do sell.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan notes that “there are complications” in Sonny Gray’s contract which make it unlikely he’s dealt at the trade deadline.

Sonny Gray has a no trade clause and has been really good for a Boston team that is only four games out of the Wild Card in the American League, so he shouldn’t be viewed as a slam dunk trade candidate. In addition to that, as Passan notes, his contract is a potential probably because, in addition to his $10 million salary over the final two months of th eseason, his restructed contract includes a $10 million buyout on a $30 million mutual option for 2027. That leaves “Boston somewhat hamstrung unless it’s willing to pay down a significant portion and convince Gray to accept a deal.”

BOS Starting Pitcher #54

Sonny Gray worked six innings of one-run baseball to pick up a win in an 8-1 victory for the Red Sox on Saturday over the Angels.

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.
