"The only thing going into the game I was really focused on was trying to get back on track," Gray said. "I had a rough outing my last time, so it was important to get back on the mound and put some zeros up and give us a good chance to win. That's all I really wanted to do going into this start."
A's manager Bob Melvin refuses to call it a bounceback start, after Gray allowed six runs to the Angels in five innings.
"I would just call it more of a normal game for him," Melvin said.
