Gray (5-10) coughed up seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings Sunday in an 8-0 loss to the Indians.
Pitching on short rest did Gray no favors Sunday, as he wasn't fooling Indians hitters at all. No one will be happier to see the calendar flip to August than Gray, who gave up seven runs three times in six July starts, leading to a bloated 7.79 ERA for the month. He's got a tough matchup in his next start, though, as the A's host the Cubs on Saturday.
