Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray couldn't outpitch Tigers starter Justin Verlander in Game 5 of the American League Division Series Thursday, giving up three earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three in his team's 3-0 loss.
Gray surrendered a two-run homer to Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera in the fourth inning and left the sixth inning with two runners on base, one of which came around to score. Unable to replicate his excellent performance in Game 2, Gray walked more batters Thursday than he did in any of his previous starts for the A's in the regular season or postseason.
