It’s pretty, pretty remarkable, but this team keeps on winning. After a brief fan freak-out when the team was .500 through their first 18 games, they have since won 14 out of their last 15 games. The key to this game was really Sonny Gray, who definitely put more life into the Austin Romine personal catcher narrative by allowing just two earned runs over six innings while striking out seven and walking just two.
This game could have gone quite different. Through the first four innings, Cleveland’s Trevor Bauer had a perfect game, and Gray himself was matching him to an extent, but showed cracks in the armor when he loaded the bases in the third but got a Jason Kipnis strikeout and a Jose Ramirez flyout to wriggle out of it.
