Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray posted a quality start Thursday but was still saddled with the loss as the A's fell to the Astros, 3-2. Gray gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven in eight innings.
Gray now has five quality starts in six tries, striking out at least seven batters in four of those games. He brings a 2-3 record, 2.51 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB ratio into Wednesday's start against the Twins.
