Josiah Gray held the Los Angeles Angels to one run on two hits through five innings on the road in Anaheim, CA, but faded quickly in the sixth, giving up a leadoff home run, single, and back-to-back, two-out walks, (on eight consecutive pitches), before he was lifted with the bases loaded in the home-half of the inning.
Gray took the L, in what ended up a 2-0 loss, though overall it was a fairly strong start by the 25-year-old righty.
“It stings,” he said after falling to (0-3) in his first three outings early this season.
