Athletics pitcher Sonny Gray earned a win Saturday, giving up just one earned run on seven hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings and striking out five in his team's 5-1 victory over the Rangers.
Gray (12-3) has rattled off five straight wins in July, but he hadn't walked as many as four batters in an outing since June 7 before doing so Saturday. He's surrendered one run or no runs in each of his last five starts to give himself a 2.65 ERA to go along with a 121:49 K:BB ratio in 139 innings. Gray is slated to face the Royals Friday.
