MINNEAPOLIS — A night after Joe Ryan put up seven no-hit innings in a near combined no-no, another Twins starter led the way again Wednesday with a dominant performance.
Sonny Gray gave up just three hits through seven innings to help the team to a 4-0 victory against the Royals. The result lifted the Twins above .500 to a 71-70 record. The Twins are still five games out from American League Central-leading Guardians and one game behind the White Sox in second.
In front of an announced 14, 927 fans at Target Field, Gray (8-4 with the win) tallied eight strikeouts with just one walk while holding the Royals without a run. Caleb Thielbar entered in the eighth inning after Gray had thrown 91 pitches with 64 strikes.
