Sonny Gray's debut with the Reds did not go the way he wanted, not at all the way he wanted.

Gray, the right-handed star of the New York Yankees, made two runs and two-thirds and allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits. He walked four times, did not hit any, hit a hitter. He launched 71 throws, of which only 34 were on strike.

Gray's costed a race first. He was a little late to get to first base on Joey Votto, first scorer of Starling Marte. Gray dropped Votto's throw for error. Marty stole second place and scored Josh Bell's last single.

The second run was almost a disaster for Gray. He dropped a batter to match leader Melky Cabrera, made a good play from shortstop Jose Iglesias, and dropped RBI to pitcher Trevor Williams.

Adam Frazier followed with one goal and was second on central field player Scott Schebler's error. Marte walked to charge the bases.

Throw coach Derek Johnson went to the mound at that time. Corey Dickerson scored the next throw of Gray's leg. He recovered and started a 1-2-3 double game.

Gray's day ended with his third run of the third inning, which was awarded to Williams with the bases charged, forcing the third inning.

Gray made 17 throws in the third, of which only four were on strike.

Michael Lorenzen came in and took out the final to leave the bases loaded.
