Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray put together his first career complete-game shutout on Monday against the Rangers, scattering three hits in nine scoreless innings to improve to 4-1 on the year. The last shutout by an A's starter in Arlington was Dallas Braden in August 28, 2010.

Gray struck out six and walked one, improving his ERA to 1.76. He threw 108 pitches, 73 for strikes. Over his first two starts on the road covering 16 innings, Gray has allowed only one earned run.

Following the 4-0 victory, Gray will look to keep it going Sunday at Boston.
