Gray to Face Former Battery Mate in Lopez

Sonny Gray will face his former team, the Minnesota Twins, for the first time since being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in August.

Gray, who spent two seasons with the Twins, will start against his old battery mate, Pablo Lopez, on Tuesday night.

Gray was appreciative of his time with the Twins, saying, "I had a great two years in Minnesota. I loved the fans, the city, and the organization."

In two seasons with the Twins, Gray had a 16-13 record and a 2.90 ERA in 56 starts.

Gray will be looking to continue his success against the Twins, who he has a 3-1 record and a 2.20 ERA against in his career.

The Cardinals are currently in first place in the NL Central, while the Twins are in second place.
