Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray took the loss Wednesday despite recording a quality start, giving up three earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out eight in his team's 3-0 loss to the Rangers.
Gray (3-1) surrendered a run on a first-inning triple, then gave up one each in the fifth and sixth innings, with the latter coming via a solo home run. He hadn't allowed a home run this season before the sixth-inning blast. Gray owns a 2.25 ERA and 31:13 K:BB ratio in 32 innings. He's on track to face the Rangers on the road Monday.
