Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray took a loss Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks in seven innings while striking out 12 in his team's 2-0 defeat against the Angels.
Gray (13-10) struck out eight of the first 11 batters he faced, but an unearned run scored on a strike-'em-out, throw-'em-out double play in the second inning. He then surrendered a solo home run in the sixth while the Oakland offense couldn't break through against the Angels. Gray owns a 3.21 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 178:74 K:BB ratio in 210 innings. He's scheduled to face the Rangers in the regular-season finale Sunday.
