Gray (3-8) allowed one run on six hits over six innings Wednesday against the Twins. He walked four and struck out five in the loss.
Gray allowed a runner to reach base in each of his six innings, and the walk to Robbie Grossman in the fifth was his fourth of the day, tying a season high. The right-hander did well in working out of jams, stranding seven baserunners in his first four innings, but his propensity for the free pass Wednesday cost him in that inning after Grossman scored from first on Joe Mauer's double. Gray has issued 34 walks in just 90.2 innings this season, giving him a 3.4 BB/9 -- nearly a full walk higher than the 2.6 mark he posted a year ago.
