Athletics starting pitcher Sonny Gray matched up opposite Mike Pelfrey on Wednesday night in Minnesota. It was no contest when all was said and done in the 18-3 win. 

Gray earned the win to improve to .500 at 3-3 on the season. He received plenty of offensive support as Oakland scored 10 times in the fourth inning alone and didn't stop there. Gray cruised to victory as he allowed two earned runs on four hits and three walks over five innings. He threw 91 pitches and struck out seven.

Gray has gone 2-1 in his last three starts but has allowed just four runs over that span of 19 2/3 innings with 21 Ks. The youngster has been a nice starter for the Athletics down the stretch. He'll make his next scheduled start Monday to open a series at home against the Angels.
