After a brusque ending to the suspended game earlier this afternoon, it was up to Sonny Gray and company to get the Yankees back on track. With a 4-2 dumping of the Nationals, the Yankees secured a season split against the National League powerhouse.
Gray was looking to bounce back from his disappointing start last week against the Nats, and I think he did so in an admirable fashion. He pitched into the sixth, with seven strikeouts against just one walk. Sonny’s always at his best when he’s able to attack hitters and keep the ball in the strike zone, and he did that well tonight.
