August 4, 2015 – Jon Gray makes Rockies debut

MLB: New York Mets at Colorado Rockies

In a season that saw disappointing results for Kyle Kendrick, the loss of Adam Ottavino to injury and struggles from the bullpen, the Colorado Rockies needed something to give the fan base hope for the future of their pitching staff. Enter 2013 No. 3 overall draft pick Jon Gray, who made his Major League debut against the Seattle Mariners on August 4. Gray would go a full month before picking up his first win, and even longer before picking up his first loss. Colorado limited his pitch count and he closed the season with just 40.2 major league innings pitched, a 1-2 record and a 5.53 ERA.
