Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray came up big Sunday, allowing just six hits in a complete-game shutout while striking out five as Oakland secured the second Wild Card spot with a 4-0 victory over the Rangers.
Gray (14-10) needed 103 pitches to put his team into the postseason, giving up four singles and two doubles while not walking a batter. His first win since Aug. 22 came on his first career complete game. Gray finishes the regular season with a 3.08 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 183:74 K:BB ratio in 219 innings. The A's will head to Kansas City to face the Royals in the AL Wild Card game Tuesday.
