Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:18:42 GMT

For five of the six innings he pitched on Saturday, Sonny Gray looked like the all-star pitcher he’s been all year long. In those innings, Gray gave up no hits, no runs, walked just one and struck out four.But for as good as he was for most of his start, an uncharacteristic second inning sunk Gray and the Twins, as they fell 6-2 to the Baltimore Orioles at Target Field.The second inning began with a Ryan O’Hearn single that went under second baseman Edouard Julien’s glove.
