Sonny Gray

Sonny Gray allowed four runs on six hits and four walks over 4 1/3 innings on Friday against the Brewers. He struck out six and did not factor into the decision.

Fantasy Impact

Gray was staked to a big lead and danced on a knife's edge all game, before faltering in the fifth inning. Gray's lack of consistency and inability to work deep into games certainly hurt his win potential, despite the Reds playing much better baseball. He'll look to bounce back against the Cubs next.

Sonny Gray allowed three runs on five hits over five innings in the Reds' 11-3 win over the Rangers on Sunday. He walked one and struck out eight while improving to 3-5.

Fantasy Impact

Gray was fortunate to escape having allowed just three runs, considering he gave up two homers in five innings. The strikeouts were nice, but this is the third straight start where Gray failed to complete six innings. He has good ratios, with a 3.77 ERA, 3.24 FIP, and 26.7% strikeout rate, but only has four quality starts in 14 outings this year. His lack of depth is what limits him from becoming a must-start pitcher. His next start comes Friday at Milwaukee.

Sonny Gray allowed three runs on four hits over 5 2/3rd innings in the Reds' 4-3 win over the Phillies on Sunday. He walked three and struck out three in the no-decision.

Fantasy Impact

Gray just couldn't get that last out, which is disappointing since it would've made for his fifth quality start this year. He has had flashes of brilliance this season, but Gray has been horribly inconsistent and unable to maintain sustained success. His next start comes Sunday vs. Texas.

Sonny Gray allowed two runs on five hits over five innings in the Reds' 4-1 loss to the Nationals on Sunday. He walked one and struck out four while falling to 2-5.

Fantasy Impact

This start is a little underwhelming considering the roll Gray was on coming into this game, but still a fine outing from Gray, even if he took the loss. Gray will carry a 3.54 ERA into his next start, Saturday at Philadelphia.

Sonny Gray allowed one run on five hits over six innings in the Reds' 8-1 win over the Pirates on Monday. He walked two and struck out seven while improving to 2-4.

Fantasy Impact

This makes back-to-back dominant outings for Gray, who seems to be turning things around after a rough patch earlier in May. He's incorporated both his slider and curveball heavily over these past few starts, and that has been the key to success for Gray in the past. His next start comes Tuesday at St. Louis.
