Jon Gray returned to Coors Field Tuesday and a hugfest ensued.
The Rangers’ right-hander, who left the Rockies as a free agent at the end of last season and then signed a four-year, $56 million free-agent deal with Texas, was embraced by a number of Rockies, including manager Bud Black, third-base coach Stu Cole, left-hander Kyle Freeland, right-hander Carlos Estevez and Dinger.Gray, Colorado’s first-round draft choice in 2013, will always have a soft spot in his heart for his first team, and for Denver.
Gray, who’s been on the injured list with a strained oblique since Aug. 2, won’t pitch again until September, so he won’t face the Rockies during the brief two-game series at Coors. He admitted he was kind of glad he wasn’t pitching against his old team in Tuesday night’s series opener. Gray’s first season with Texas has been mostly solid, but it’s also been marred by injuries, with three trips to the IL, including twice in April. He’s made 19 starts, going 7-6 with a 3.83 ERA.
“It’s been different,” Gray said. “I haven’t had to make the changes of, ‘Oh, my ball’s doing something different today. How do I control it?’ I’ve been throwing the same way every day, every time in the same movement. I think that’s been the difference-maker.”
