Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray allowed two runs on eight hits over six innings of work during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

Gray's biggest mistake came in the sixth inning when Mitch Moreland hit a solo home run off him. He also struck out six and walked one during the outing. He received a loss for his effort and his ERA now stands at 1.74.

Over his last three starts, Gray (7-3) has given up a total of four runs over 22 innings of work. His next expected start is scheduled for Sunday at the Angels.
