Gray (2-3) took the loss against the A's on Friday, giving up five runs on nine hits and three walks over five innings while striking out two.
The right-hander breezed through a 1-2-3 first inning, but Oakland's bats teed off on Gray after that, with two of their nine hits leaving the yard -- the first time in eight starts Gray's given up multiple homers. Despite his success at limiting the long ball, Gray will take a 6.39 ERA and 32:24 K:BB through 38 innings into next Friday's road outing against the Royals.
