Gray (1-4) gave up seven runs (five earned) on eight hits Friday, striking out just one and walking three, to pick up the loss in Colorado's 16-5 defeat at the hands of the Cubs.
After an encouraging start to the season that saw him give up three earned runs over his first 11 innings, Gray has now given up at least five runs in each of his last three outings to bring his ERA up to 6.75 in 26.2 innings. He's a risky fantasy play until he shows signs of re-establishing his form of last year, when he put up a respectable 3.67 ERA in 110.1 innings - and the fact that he pitches his home games at hitter-friendly Coors Field doesn't help his dimming fantasy prospects.
