Gray (5-0) earned the win Friday against the Mariners after pitching a scoreless sixth inning, allowing one hit and striking out two. He did not issue a walk.
Gray entered the game in the sixth inning, and while he gave up a single to Cole Young, he closed out the inning by striking out Luke Raley and Colt Emerson. Gray needed just 14 pitches (12 strikes) to complete the frame, and the 31-year-old right-hander has been pitching well of late. He's held the opposition scoreless in six of his nine relief appearances this month, including each of the last three.

Rangers' Peyton Gray: Earns win in relief
Rotowire
Gray (2-0) earned the win in relief Friday against the Guardians, tossing 1.2 perfect innings while striking out two.
Gray entered the game in the sixth inning and did not allow a single hitter to reach base. Gray seems to be turning things around of late, as he's given up just one earned run over his last four outings while posting a 7:0 K:BB in 4.1 innings in that stretch. That represents a huge bounce-back after he gave up nine runs (five earned) over a two-game stretch against the Astros and Rockies between May 18 and May 25.

Rangers' Peyton Gray: Good to go
Rotowire
Gray (forearm) will play catch Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Gray was removed from Thursday's game versus the Yankees after being struck in the forearm by a comebacker. His exit was deemed precautionary, however, and it's not expected to be an issue moving forward. Gray has yielded just one run but has a 6:6 K:BB over seven frames with Texas.
