Sonny Gray Steps Up for Red Sox | MLB News

Sonny Gray just hit a career-high 15 wins this season, leading the Red Sox to a dominant 4-0 shutout over the Pirates — and he’s doing it exactly how he wants: quietly, fiercely, and without trying to fill anyone else’s shoes. With ace Garrett Crochet sidelined, Gray has become the team’s bedrock, throwing seven scoreless innings, striking out seven, and calmly ending a bases-loaded threat in the fifth. His new catcher, Adley Rutschman, is clicking with him — a promising sign for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, Wilyer Abreu crushed his 22nd homer and added doubles, while Erik Miller locked down the eighth and Andruw Monasterio delivered a clutch two-run double in the ninth. Now just two games behind in the AL Wild Card race, the Red Sox are riding Gray’s steady arm — and his leadership — to stay alive in the playoff hunt.
