Sonny Gray was nothing short of exceptional in Game 2 of the ALDS, throwing eight innings of shutout ball with nine strikeouts against the Tigers.

Justin Verlander matches Gray pitch for pitch so Gray was saddled with a no decision, but he was still the clear star for the A's on Saturday night. Gray threw most fastballs and curveballs and kept the Tigers hitters fooled all night. Gray has been a huge asset for the A's since he was called up and clearly has a rotation spot locked up for 2014.
