Was Jon Gray tipping his pitches vs. the Mets? It “seemed like they still knew it was coming,” he said.

Mets 14, Rangers 2. That'll make ya grimace. dallasnews.com/sports/rangers…

A black cat just ran past me as I walked out of Globe Life Field. So, yeah, take that for what you will.

Gray gave up nine runs in three innings vs. the Mets tonight.

'I think it's just as easy as, if the next team doesn't know what I'm throwing, I'll be fine. It's that easy, really.'

Said it could be a number of things — glove position, leg lift, etc — but he's not sure.

Jon Gray: 'I don't care how nasty it is, I don't care if it's 110 mph, if they know it's coming, they know it's coming.'

'I'm not exactly sure what it is. I tried to do a lot of different things tonight to try to throw them off, but it seemed like they still knew it was coming.'

FINAL — Mets 14, Rangers 2.

The story: A 'let's go Mets chant' briefly made its way around Globe Life Field in the ninth inning. Oof.

Record: 33-39, four losses in a row.

Real ball.

I believe it's Little League night, or something, and the remaining children in the park are either high-pitched screaming or blowing whistles. It's 14-2. Robbie Grossman just picked up his second hit of the game.

The Rangers have a -31.7 runs above average vs. fastball this season, dead last in baseball.

Mets starter David Peterson — who throws a 4-seamer 17.5% of the time — threw 42 of his 100 pitches for fastballs; the Rangers hit three into play, each for an out.

Not good.

The Rangers are down 11-2. Corey Seager has been pulled in favor of Davis Wendzel.

Francisco Lindor is 4-for-4 with three singles and a double. It's 10-2.

Jon Gray's final line: 3 IP, 9 ER, 11 H, 2 K. It inflated his ERA from 2.17 to 3.31. Jonathan Hernandez is now in to pitch the fourth.

Jon Gray's previous 10 starts: 10 earned runs

Jon Gray tonight: 9 earned runs

Yeah.

It is 9-2.

Brandon Nimmo just took Jon Gray deep to right field for a two-run home run. Francisco Lindor reached to lead off the third and is 3-for-3 in three innings.

The mariachi band stationed in center field just played Higher by Creed.

Robbie Grossman didn't hear no bell.

It's a two-run home run into left field off of David Peterson and his first as a Ranger this season. Mets lead 7-2.

With that being said: Jonathan Hernandez is warming up.

Jon Gray, who has allowed seven runs, is out for the third inning. The Rangers would certainly love to get a little more length out of him.
