Gray (0-2) allowed one run on three hits with three strikeouts and didn't walk anybody across 6.2 innings during a loss to the Pirates on Friday.
The right-hander deserved a much better fate, but for the third straight game against the Pirates, the Reds failed to score a run-- with Gray suffering the loss in two of those three games. The good news, though, is he was much better in this second outing, retiring 16 straight batters at one point. Gray has a 2.89 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and seven strikeouts in 9.1 innings this season. His next outing will likely come against the Marlins.
