Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray allowed two runs on six hits in four innings in his second start of spring training and he's feeling "a million times better" than he did at this point last spring, reports MLB.com.
Manager Bob Melvin liked that Gray turned in a better performance Sunday.
"I thought he threw the ball good," said Melvin. "He was throwing a lot of first-pitch heaters and they were swinging at a lot of them. Stuff was good. What we're looking out of him is to just get his endurance up and get him ready for the season."

"I thought it was night and day better than last time," said Gray. "I thought it was awesome. I felt great. I think it was big to be able to limit damage in the second inning there. Second and third with one out, to be able to get out of that was huge. I think, body-wise, stuff-wise, it was all really good. The whole focus today was to just come in and throw a ton of strikes. Last time, I got a little over-amped and I didn't throw as many. I know I was ahead of everyone today, which is awesome."
