Gray (8-4) threw five shutout innings, allowed just two hits and two walks and struck out six in a win over the Dodgers.
The only problem for Gray was inefficiency, as he needed 96 pitches to get through five innings. Dodgers hitters managed a ridiculous 31 foul balls against him, which kept Gray from closing out at-bats early enough to go deeper into the ballgame. Still, he pounded the strike zone (65 strikes, 31 balls) and kept the ball in the ballpark, which allowed him to record his first home scoreless start of the season, an impressive feat for any Rockies pitcher.
