The Minnesota Twins All-Star pitcher allowed five runs against the Seattle Mariners Monday night, losing his second straight start. Gray hasn’t earned a win in a start since April 30.</p><p>The issue, once again for Gray, was his untimely walks. He allowed four free passes and hit a batter, all of it <a href="https://theathletic.com/4698769/2023/07/18/twins-winning-streak-ends-seattle-sonny-gray/" rel="noopener">blowing up on him</a> in the fourth inning when the Mariners scored four runs, stealing the Twins’ 2-0 lead. Gray walked 10 batters in his last three starts and has 14 starts with multiple walks.</p><p>“The same thing continues to happen over and over again,” Gray said, via Dan Hayes. “It just gets frustrating because continuously you’re cruising, you’re cruising, and you have one inning where it blows up on you, and it’s just, it just continues to happen over and over, and it’s frustrating. I’ve got to figure it out. I mean, I’ve got to figure that out. I don’t know what that is, but I’ve got to figure it out. If not, then … I don’t know.”</p><p>Overall this season Gray has a 3.16 ERA in 19 starts, posting 106 strikeouts and seven quality starts. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-encouraging-injury-update-brock-stewart" rel="noopener">Gray represented the Twins</a> at the All-Star game last week, his third selection for the game. Gray made his first appearance in the Midsummer Classic, tossing a scoreless frame with two strikeouts.</p><p>If the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-players-who-must-be-on-trade-block-2023-deadline" rel="noopener">Twins want to hold their lead</a> in the division and make some noise in the playoffs, Gray needs to get back into his groove and into the pitcher he’s been for much of the season. His walk numbers have always been a concern, but if Sonny Gray can clean it up a bit, the Twins will be in a much better position.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After adding Christian Vazquez and Joey Gallo in free agency, they are still looking to make some more moves.</p><p>The Twins are desperate to improve on the mound, going so far as to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-twins-shocking-trade-stance-on-batting-champ-luis-arraez">consider trades</a> for AL batting champion Luis Arraez in exchange for top-tier pitching. According to Dan Hayes and Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic, the Twins could make some moves to <a href="https://theathletic.com/4052995/2023/01/03/minnesota-twins-roster-projection/">revamp their pitching staff</a>, including a trade involving recent trade acquisition Sonny Gray.</p><p>Hayes notes that “starting pitching could be the area with the highest potential to be impacted by a trade” and names Gray as an ideal “sell-high” player. He reports that the Twins have expressed interest in free-agent starting pitcher Michael Wacha.</p><p>In 127.1 innings with the Red Sox last season, Wacha recorded an ERA of 3.32 and 104 strikeouts while allowing walks to just 6.0 percent of the batters he faced. He possesses a strong changeup and cutter, though he also has a not-so-goo fastball that is below average in velocity.</p><p>Gray was the Twins’ top pitcher in 2022 after being acquired via trade with the Cincinnati Reds. He had a 3.08 ERA in 119.2 innings. A championship contender could look to him as someone to boost their pitching rotation. Especially with other top options off of the market, Minnesota could shop him and get a solid return.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If that wasn’t frustrating enough, the Twins were dealt another injury blow before the game. With starter Joe Ryan on the COVID Injured list and shortstop <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-minnesota-handed-tough-carlos-correa-blow-after-loss-to-tigers/">Carlos Correa</a> also sidelined, the Twins were forced to make an unfortunate move with starter Sonny Gray, per the <a href="https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/06/twins-sonny-gray-injured-list-pectoral-strain.html">team</a> and MLB Trade Rumors.</p><blockquote>The Twins announced Thursday that they’ve placed right-hander Sonny Gray on the 15-day injured list due to a right pectoral strain. The move is retroactive to May 30, so Gray will be eligible to return on June 14.</blockquote><p>Gray was placed on the 15-day injured list. It’s the second injured list stint of the 2022 MLB season for the Twins hurler, who dealt with a hamstring strain earlier in the year.</p><p>Gray has been excellent this season, having pitched to a 3-1 record with a 2.41 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings pitched. Unfortunately, it’s yet another blow to the Minnesota rotation.</p><p>In addition to Gray and Ryan, the Twins have also been without Chris Paddack, who was acquired from the San Diego Padres on Opening Day.</p><p>Through it all, the Twins have managed to post a 30-23 record, good for first place in the American League Central. They’ll have to keep finding ways to win ballgames with the injuries beginning to pile up.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
