Gray lasted only 3.2 innings Wednesday against the visiting Pirates, allowing six runs on nine hits and a walk, but avoided the loss.
His teammates came back, tied the game and sent it to extra innings, bailing Gray out for a rough start. The No. 3 overall pick just three years ago, Gray has enticing strikeout ability, but Coors Field has been the same house of horrors for him that it is for basically every other pitcher. That said, fantasy players should be willing to look past the numbers and remember that he has the stuff to be an intriguing play when he draws road starts.
