Late games

Rockies 5, Brewers 1 Box | Story »

Jon Gray was intent to prove his two innings of adjustments -- and not his one inning of struggle -- were the lessons he took away from his last Cactus League start. Monday afternoon at Salt River Fields, he certainly looked like a pitcher taking a big step forward. The Rockies' top prospect needed only 44 pitches to breeze through four shutout innings, allowing just two hits and striking out two as Colorado took down Milwaukee, 5-1. Gray hadn't allowed a run in his first three spring outings before giving up three tallies in the first inning of his last start on March 18. After giving up a leadoff single to Carlos Gomez in the first on Monday, MLB.com's No. 17 prospect picked off Gomez before striking out Scooter Gennett and Ryan Braun. The right-hander then retired the side in order in the second and third and allowed only a two-out single to Braun in the fourth before closing his day.
