Athletics starter Sonny Gray (4-2) yielded three runs on seven hits in five innings Tuesday to take the loss against the Astros.
Gray served up a homer to Chris Carter in the second inning -- a two-run shot that hit the facade.
"Yeah stuff was OK, fastball wasn't great," Gray said. "Left a few balls up and that was it."
After winning his first four decisions of the year, Gray has now dropped his last two.
Gray's next start is scheduled for Sunday in Tampa Bay.
