He lasted 5 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 7. With the win, he raised his record to 4-0. Texas goes to 10-10.

Gray had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a 0-2 fastball from Jeff Penrice, he banged a 3-run home run to left-center, giving the Rangers a 6-3 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Gray.

"The hot tub feels extra good after a solid win," said Gray.
