NEW YORK -- The Yankees continue to insist that Sonny Gray -- a celebrated midseason pickup nearly one year ago -- possesses the raw ability to produce winning results at the corner of 161st Street and River Avenue, though they are baffled by the right-hander's seeming inability to put it all together under the bright lights.
Falling to the Red Sox for the fourth time in four starts since his acquisition, Gray was hit hard and knocked out early as the Yankees dropped an 11-0 decision on Saturday at Yankee Stadium, evening the weekend showdown between the top clubs in the American League East.
