Solid in Nats debut Gray didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out two. Impact Making his Washington debut, Gray blanked Philadelphia for four frames before Odubel Herrera launched a solo shot off him in the fifth, and he tossed 47 of 71 pitches for strikes before exiting. The right-hander hadn't lasted longer than four innings in either of his appearances for the Dodgers prior to heading east at the trade deadline, so the reduced workload is likely just temporary, but keeping the ball in the park has been a challenge for him in the majors so far -- Gray has served up five homers in only 13 innings.
