Possible Athletics ace Sonny Gray showed why he is in the discussion to earn that role on Saturday. He pitched two shutout innings against Texas and struck out two. He was able to escape jams precipitated by two walks and two hits.
Gray showed his talent in 10 starts as a rookie in 2013. He was 5-3 with a 2.67 ERA. Most impressive was that he surrendered just 51 hits and fanned 67 in 64 innings.
