What's this? A really dominant pitcher wearing a Rockies uniform? I thought those were extinct.
Very rarely do fans of both teams walk away from a baseball game happy with what they saw, but Monday was one of those rare occasions. Mets fans got to celebrate a much needed late inning come from behind victory that kept them 1.5 games ahead of a badly underachieving Washington Nationals squad, and Rockies fans got a six inning glimpse at Jon Gray's ceiling. And oh is it a glorious ceiling.
Last Tuesday may have been Gray's first official start in the majors, and that dreadful excuse of a bullpen may have prevented Gray from picking up his first win, but if Gray becomes what we all hope he becomes in a couple of years, this is the game you're going to remember as his coming out party.
