Gray (1-1) won his first career MLB game, allowing two runs on five hits, striking out eight and walking one in a 5-2 victory over the Mets on Friday.
The 24-year-old threw seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit, in his last outing versus the Giants, but that wasn't good enough to win. Fortunately, Rockies gave him enough run support to win Friday. Gray struck out the side in the first inning, then gave up two runs in the second, but after that, no one else reached third base. After allowing 11 runs in his first two starts this season, he has yielded just four runs in the last 20 innings. Gray will look to keep it going in his next start Thursday versus the Cardinals.
