Jerry McDonald has been with the Bay Area News Group for more than 30 years, with a heavy concentration of NFL football since the Raiders returned to Oakland in 1995. His all-time favorite athlete is a right-handed pitcher at Division III Linfield College in Oregon.
OAKLAND — Sonny Gray returned to where it all started Monday night and for one night anyway, put his former team in its place.
Esteury Ruiz gave the A’s and manager Mark Kotsay and general manager David Forst something to think about in the eighth inning, hitting a 406-foot pinch homer off JoJo Romero to break up the shutout. Ruiz was activated just before game time to replace third baseman J.D. Davis, who went on the injured list with an abductor strain.
Gray, a fan favorite in Oakland from 2013 through 2017 with a sharp fastball and a crackling breaking ball that belied his 5-foot-10, 190 pound frame, has grown up as a pitcher and he was at his efficient best against his former team. Andrew Kittredge, Romero and Ryan Helsley finished up for the Cardinals, with Helsley getting his sixth save.
