Gray (4-6) allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings, earning the win over the Pirates on Thursday.
Gray fired four shutout innings before surrendering four runs in the fifth inning. He allowed five of his six hits all in that frame.

On the season, his ERA has risen to 4.44 and his WHIP is up to 1.40. The righty offers high-strikeout potential with an 11.4 K/9 in 81 innings.
