Boston Red Sox pitcher Sonny Gray helped his team win 8-1 over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
The 36-year-old Gray allowed a run and four hits in six innings, striking out seven and walking two.
Gray was motivated by his All-Star snub, using the slight as fuel for the victory.
He has six straight quality starts since May 30, going 5-0 with a 1.97 ERA.
The Boston Red Sox are currently on a W2 streak, with a 39-48 record, standing 12th in the American League.
Interim manager Chad Tracy thinks there is a good chance that Gray will be added to the AL roster.
Tracy said that roster fluctuation happens every year with pitchers who can’t go, people are hurt, or people back out.
Gray carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning of his previous start, a 7 1/3 inning, one-hit, nine-strikeout, 97-pitch effort in a 5-4 win over the New York Yankees last Sunday.
The Boston Red Sox won their last game 1-8 @ Los Angeles Angels on 2026-07-05, and their next game is vs Los Angeles Angels on 2026-07-06.
Gray was disappointed but happy for his teammates Ranger Suarez and Aroldis Chapman, who were picked for the AL team.
The Boston Red Sox are looking to continue their winning streak with their upcoming game.
