TORONTO -- A relaxed Yankees right-hander Sonny Gray did a little singing to the clubhouse stereo before his Friday night start against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Six days after his atrocious showing last weekend at Yankee Stadium against the Boston Red Sox, Gray was confident that his between-starts work with pitching coach Larry Rothschild would lead to a rebound outing against the also-ran Toronto Blue Jays.
Two innings in, long reliever David Hale was in for Gray, the Yankees were down five runs and the Blue Jays were on their way to a series-opening 6-2 win at Rogers Centre.
