"Sonny Gray threw six innings of two-run baseball on 87 pitches with the game tied. He did it by getting ahead, pitching to the edges, and changing speeds regularly."
"Against righties, he does what he always does by pitching to the glove side. It was primarily a cutter that went for 60% strikes, albeit with a low zone rate."
"With two strikes, he turned to his lethal sweeper, but the command wasn't quite there, and it only returned one strikeout against righties."
"Against lefties, it was a more balanced mix, led by Gray's four-seam fastball that he likes to throw up and inside."
Red Sox fans faced a challenging start to the season but found moments of humor and nostalgia on Opening Day. A video celebrating 250 years of the United States felt out of place. The game began with tension as Caleb Durbin's double play drew boos. Sonny Gray delivered a strong performance, pitching six innings with two runs allowed. His strategy included effective use of a cutter and backdoor sinkers, although his sweeper lacked command. Gray's approach against lefties was more varied, showcasing his four-seam fastball and other pitches effectively.
