Gray was charged with the loss in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series against the Yankees on Wednesday. He gave up two runs on six hits with five strikeouts and no walks over 4.2 innings.
Gray started off with three scoreless frames but surrendered a solo homer to Luis Garcia in the fourth and was pulled with two on and two out in the fifth at 70 pitches. One of the inherited runners came around to score, and New York erupted for six runs the following inning. It was the veteran right-hander's shortest outing since late May, as he had covered at least five frames in 20 consecutive starts. Though the early playoff exit leaves a sour taste, it was still one of the best regular seasons of Gray's career with a 2.72 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 149:46 K:BB over 169 innings.

Red Sox's Sonny Gray: Takes loss against Kansas City
Rotowire
Gray (17-5) was tagged with the loss in Friday's game against the Royals, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five across six innings.
All three of the runs Gray allowed came over the first three innings of Friday's start. The veteran right-hander was able to get through six innings on 90 pitches (60 strikes) for his 18th quality start of the season, tied for sixth-most in the majors, but he didn't receive enough run support from his Red Sox teammates to avoid the loss. It was Gray's second loss in three starts, but it has still been a strong season for the 37-year-old, whose 17 wins are tied with Cristopher Sanchez for most in the majors. Gray will take a 2.76 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 156.2 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Rangers.

Red Sox's Sonny Gray: Next start pushed to Saturday
Rotowire
Gray said that he will make his next start on nine days' rest Saturday against the Orioles in Baltimore, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Gray would have lined up for two starts this week after making his most recent appearance in this past Wednesday's loss to the Marlins, but the Red Sox will instead build in some extended rest for the top arm in their rotation as the regular season winds down. The 36-year-old righty clarified Sunday that he's not dealing with any specific physical concerns, though he feels the extra time off will be beneficial in the long run. As a result of Gray being pushed back in the schedule, the Red Sox will need to add a spot starter to the mix for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
