Sonny Gray

Byron Buxton hit a three-run homer as part of a seven-run third inning, Sonny Gray kept rolling with six strong innings and the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 8-4 on Sunday.

The Twins have won three of the first five meetings with their longtime nemesis this year.

Umpires needed a few minutes to review Verdugo's drive, which bounced off the low wall in right field just short of Pesky's Pole, before officially declaring it a hit and the game over.

Sonny Gray fans ten, Gio Urshela cranks out four hits as Twins blank Royals 9-0.

Minnesota stretches its lead in the AL Central with an 11-1 blowout of the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night.

Five Twins relievers completed the combined five-hitter.

Gray struck out a season-high 10 over seven sharp innings, carrying the Twins past the Detroit Tigers 2-0 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory.

The Yankees removed Sonny Gray from their starting rotation and replaced him with newly acquired Lance Lynn.

Athletics ace Sonny Gray has been put on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained trapezius muscle near his right shoulder blade.
