Josiah Gray gave up five earned runs in five innings in his first start of the 2023 campaign on April 1st, but in eight starts heading into Sunday afternoon’s series finale with Detroit’s Tigers the 25-year-old right-hander had posted a 2.08 ERA, 3.51 FIP, 20 walks, 41 Ks, and a .235/.315/.330 line against in 47 2⁄3 innings pitched.
His manager, Davey Martinez, talked before Gray’s outing against Miami’s Marlins last week, in which he held Fish hitters to two runs, one earned, on seven hits and three walks, about the run the righty has been on and what’s been working for him so far in 2023.
