MINNEAPOLIS — Twins starter Sonny Gray went seven scoreless innings as the Twins beat Detroit, 2-0, on Tuesday.
The American League Central-leading Twins improved to 27-16 in front of an announced crowd of 17,882 at Target Field, while the Tigers fell to 14-28.
In all, Gray allowed just four hits and one walk with a season-high 10 strikeouts. He also became just the second Twins starter this year — the other being Joe Ryan — to complete at least seven innings in a game. Gray, like many of the starters, began this season not as stretched out as usual because spring training was delayed and shortened. Gray also joined the Twins a bit late after his trade from Cincinnati.
