TORONTO — Sonny Gray stood in the visitors’ clubhouse at Rogers Centre late Friday night going over what had happened a few hours before. He mentioned a walk here, a bad pitch there and several dubious pitches in between.
As he recalled his outing, almost batter for batter because it was so brief, he settled on the obvious conclusion with a shrug.
“Another poor performance,” he said.
Even at Rogers Centre, where Gray was nearly dominant over seven previous starts, he was utterly ineffective. In his shortest outing of the year, Gray allowed five runs, six hits and two walks in only two innings as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees, 6-2, for Gray’s third consecutive loss.
