ANAHEIM, Calif. \u2014 An All-Star snub provided some extra motivation for Sonny Gray on Saturday night, the Boston Red Sox right-hander using the slight for fuel in an 8-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>

The 36-year-old Gray allowed a run and four hits in six innings, striking out seven and walking two, to improve to 10-1 with a 2.61 ERA \u2014 the second-best mark in the American League. He has six straight quality starts since May 30, going 5-0 with a 1.97 ERA.<\/p>\n

But when All-Star rosters were announced Saturday, fellow starter Ranger Suarez and closer Aroldis Chapman were Boston\u2019s only picks for the AL team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was disappointed, a little bummed, for sure,\u201d Gray said. \u201cI\u2019m just being honest, you know? I\u2019m happy for Ranger, and I\u2019m happy for Chappy, for sure. They\u2019re very well-deserving. But a little selfishly, yeah, I was disappointed.\u201d<\/p>

Gray carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning of his previous start, a 7 1\/3 inning, one-hit, nine-strikeout, 97-pitch effort in a 5-4 win over the New York Yankees last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Interim manager Chad Tracy thinks there is a good chance that Gray will be added to the AL roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the All-Star Game happens, there\u2019s so much roster fluctuation \u2014 it happens every year with pitchers who can\u2019t go, people are hurt, people back out,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cThings happen, so I\u2019m still holding out hope for a couple more guys on the team who I feel are deserving.\u201d<\/p>
