Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray didn't factor into the decision Saturday after giving up three earned runs on six hits and two walks in seven innings Saturday while striking out three in his team's 4-3 win over the Nationals.
Gray surrendered a solo home run and a two-run double in the third inning but otherwise held the Nationals scoreless to record his eighth straight quality start to open the season. His offense evened the game in the ninth inning to take Gray off the hook for the loss. He owns a 2.17 ERA and 43:18 K:BB ratio in 54 innings. Gray is slated to take on the Indians Friday.
