Gray (1-0) allowed just two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out 10 over six innings in a victory Friday against Arizona.
Gray made his return from the disabled list, where he had been with a foot injury since April 13. Despite the layoff, Gray looked exceptionally sharp. He fired 102 pitches, including a ridiculous 17 swinging strikes. Gray struck out 185 batters in just 168 innings last season, and he showed the nasty stuff he exhibited in 2016 hasn't gone anywhere despite the injury.
