MLB Investigated Red Sox Star Pitcher Following Yankees Playoff Loss: Report
MassLive.com Boston Red Sox beat writer Chris Cotillo reported on Tuesday that MLB "looked into" starting pitcher Sonny Gray.
Boston Red Sox star pitcher Sonny Gray may have had his final start of his MLB career against the New York Yankees on the night of a crucial AL Wild Card series game. Gray entered the game with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, trailing 1-0. However, Boston's bullpen failed to deliver, resulting in a 9-2 loss for the Red Sox.
Sonny Gray, a three-time All-Star, went viral on social media due to a sticky substance appearing on his neck during the game. According to MassLive.com Red Sox beat writer Chris Cotillo, MLB investigated Gray following the game, but the right-hander is unlikely to face any punishment. Gray allowed two runs on six hits, walked no batters, and struck out five in 4 2/3 innings pitched against the Yankees.
The 36-year-old, traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to Boston last November, had an exceptional season, finishing with 18 wins and a career-high 2.72 ERA in 169 innings pitched.
