OAKLAND, Calif. — Sonny Gray could be making his final home start for the Oakland Athletics when he faces the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday in the finale of a three-game series.
Gray will duel White Sox right-hander Mike Pelfrey, himself a former highly regarded prospect who has bounced around a bit in his career.
The teams split the first two games of the series, with the A’s drawing even on 21-year-old Franklin Barreto’s walk-off home run with one out in the ninth inning of a 7-6 win Tuesday.
White Sox manager Rick Renteria boarded the bus back to the hotel proud of his team’s effort nonetheless.
