The Cardinals’ Secret Weapon: Sonny Gray Leads Team to Playoff Contention
The St. Louis Cardinals were written off as contenders for the postseason this year, but thanks to veteran pitcher Sonny Gray, they are now just 3.5 games out of a playoff spot as of August 11. Gray’s impressive performance on the mound has been a major factor in the team’s success this season.
Gray boasts a record of 18-6 in his starts this year, making him the pitcher with the best record in the Major League among those with at least 20 starts. He recently surpassed Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers and Cristopher Sánchez of the Philadelphia Phillies for this title, after his latest victory against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday where he pitched seven innings and only allowed two runs.
The 35-year-old pitcher shared his thoughts on his success this season, saying, “At the beginning of the season, I was thinking what do I want out of [2025]? And I do remember saying, ‘I want to win the games that I pitch, that I start.'” He also expressed his gratitude towards his teammates for their support and for picking him up in games where he may have had a rough start. Gray credits his team’s record of 18-6 in his starts as his favorite achievement so far this year.
Although Gray’s ERA may seem average at 4.05, his 3.11 FIP suggests that he has been a victim of bad luck. He also leads the league with a walk rate of 1.5 batters per nine innings and has the best strikeout-to-walk ratio in baseball at 6.73. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol praised Gray’s consistency and approach this season, saying, “In between starts, it’s a real routine that leads to consistency [for Gray]. There’s an attention to detail and a purpose behind everything he does.”
The Cardinals have been on a roll lately, winning back-to-back series against tough opponents like the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers. They now have a chance to continue their success against the struggling Colorado Rockies and inch even closer to a playoff spot. With Gray leading the way, the Cardinals may just have a secret weapon that will help them make a surprise run for the postseason.
