Josiah Gray struggled against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who traded him to Washington last July 30th, but the Nationals’ starter bounced back in his next turn in the rotation, allowing a run on three hits in five innings against the Colorado Rockies, after he gave up five hits and seven runs in three innings of work against LA.
“He’s progressing really well, and he’s matured a lot. For him, the training wheels are off,” manager Davey Martinez told reporters after a 6-5 win over the Rockies.
Gray told reporters following the outing against the Dodgers he let his emotions get the best of him going up against his former team, and said he looked forward to facing them again, as well as the Cincinnati Reds, who drafted him in the 2nd Round in 2018, only to trade him to Los Angeles later that year.
