Gray suffered his seventh loss of the season Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out three.
Gray cruised through six innings, but he was done in by a seventh inning in which he allowed three consecutive hitters to reach base before a three-run homer by Socrates Brito. He didn't have his strikeout stuff on hand either, as the three punchouts marked a season low for an outing of this length, but the 18 he managed over his previous two starts suggest that he should bounce back in that regard. He will face a more favorable matchup the next time he takes the mound, Saturday against the Padres.
