Sonny Gray has started 7 games this season for the Cincinnati Reds with a 3.89 ERA and allowed only 25 hits and 15 runs. He has only walked 8 batters and thrown an unbelievable 564 pitches thus far. Gray’s not yet on the level of Luis Castillo, but he’s has been excellent so far this season. Yet, Gray also carries a win-loss record of 0-4 and until last night has received little to no run support.
If you had told me at the beginning of this season that the offense would be the biggest problem for this Reds team, I probably would have laughed at you.
