Josiah Gray’s first outing after being named the Washington Nationals’ Opening Day starter was an “interesting” one, which saw the pitcher walk seven batters, strike out six, and give up just three hits and one earned run.
As the 26-year-old start acknowledged, he knows it is not in his best interest to continue to put himself in those sorts of tough situations, even if he has often been able to work his way out of the trouble.
“I think every outing when I’m toeing that line … it’s kind of like: Here we go again,” he said, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman.
