MINNEAPOLIS — Sonny Gray took a 100 mph screamer off his pitching shoulder in the fourth inning Thursday, a scary moment that caused the game to be delayed for several minutes while he was checked out.
And that wasn't even the most painful part of the inning.
No, Luis Robert's 452-foot grand slam, a blast that landed a half-dozen rows deep in the second deck in left field, probably pained the ultra-competitive Gray even more. It all but ended both his night and his team's, as Chicago waltzed its way to a 12-2 victory over the Twins.
