Gray dominates Indians 2-0 win jersey
With Sonny Gray at the top of his game, Bruce Gradkowski Jersey the Cleveland Indians were going to have a tough time on Sunday. Gray pitched a two-hit shutout and allowed only three base runners, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 2-0 victory. The All-Star lowered his AL-best ERA to 2.04, walked one and struck out six. Only three outs were recorded by outfielders in his third career shutout. ''He had no-hit stuff,'' Athletics manager Bob Melvin said. ''Only one ball was hit hard. That's about as good as it gets.'' Catcher Stephen Vogt, Oakland's other All-Star, had the best view of Gray's brilliance. ''He smells blood and he http://www.steelersnflofficialonline.com/Authentic-Bud-Dupree-Jersey just goes for it,'' said Vogt, whose two-run homer in the fourth gave Gray the only offense he needed. ''That was a lot of fun.'' Gray (10-3) retired the first 10 hitters before Francisco Lindor's one-out single in the fourth. The right-hander walked David Murphy to lead off the fifth and retired 11 in a row until Giovanny Urshela's two-out single in the eighth. ''If you're a fan of pitching he is fun to watch,'' Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. ''If you are trying to beat him it's not fun. There's really nothing he doesn't do.'' Gray seemed to take his performance in stride as if it was another routine Tyrone Crawford Jersey day at the ballpark. ''I felt good,'' he said. ''I was throwing my fastball where I wanted to for the most part and I was able to get some soft contact. That was pretty much what I hoped to do.'' Vogt homered to right off Corey Kluber (4-10) after being robbed of a home run in the first by Murphy. Kluber has already surpassed last season's loss total when he went 18-9 and won the AL Cy Young Award. The Indians are averaging 2.30 runs when Kluber is on the mound. Gray breezed through the first 3 http://www.officialcowboysnflstore.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_ZACK_MARTIN_JERSEY.html 1-3 innings. Lindor bounced a single up the middle, but Michael Brantley hit into a double play to end the fourth. Gray, who won't pitch in Tuesday's game because he started Sunday, missed a turn in the rotation last month because of a bout of salmonella. He allowed three runs in seven innings against the Yankees on Tuesday. The right-hander hasn't lost since June 9. Vogt, the second batter of the game, drove a pitch to deep right but Murphy got back to the wall, timed his jump perfectly and made a leaping catch. Vogt got even in the fourth inning by driving a 1-0 pitch several rows into the seats for his team-leading 14th homer of the season.
