Sonny Gray took a walk behind the mound after walking his second consecutive batter in the fifth inning, taking a deep breath as catcher Tucker Barnhart and pitching coach Derek Johnson waited to chat with him.
The Cincinnati Reds were already trailing by a run and now Gray was stuck in a bases-loaded jam with two outs.
On Gray’s first pitch after the mound visit, he surrendered a two-run single to Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor. Next up was Jackie Bradley Jr., who ended a seven-pitch at-bat against Gray with a two-run triple down the right-field line.
