He did it! Sonny Gray lasted more than two innings and pitched a quality start on Wednesday night. But… It was against the Orioles and he’s had some success against them—Gray is 3-0 with a 0.51 ERA in three starts at Camden Yards. So while it was nice to see Sonny Gray exit a game after […]

Monday Musings: Trade Deadline and Rookies
The Yankees have matched, and perhaps exceeded expectations to date. The Yankees are in first place with a 37-17 record and a .685 winning percentage. No team owns a better record.
