Collects seventh win of 2026
Gray (7-1) earned the win against the Yankees on Friday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three across 6.1 innings.
Analysis
Friday's outing was far from Gray's best outing of the season, with his eight hits being his most allowed in a game since April 14 against the Twins (nine). He gave up a solo home run to Ben Rice in the first inning before yielding another solo shot in the fifth to Trent Grisham, but Gray managed to limit the damage to three runs and came away with his sixth quality start of the season (and fourth over his last five starts) while tossing only 79 pitches. The veteran right-hander sits at a 3.20 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 44:16 K:BB across 56.1 innings this season, and his seven wins are tied for third-most in the American League behind Gavin Williams (nine) and Davis Martin (eight). Gray's next start is slated for next week on the road against the Rays.

Fans seven in sixth win
Gray (6-1) earned the win Saturday against the Guardians, allowing one run on four hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis
For the first time since coming off the injured list with a right hamstring strain in early May, Gray managed to reach the 90-pitch marker Saturday in one of his finest performances of the year. The seven punchouts were his second-highest total of the season, and the 36-year-old right-hander spun at least six innings while yielding two runs or fewer for the fifth time in 2026. Gray will bring a steady 3.06 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB over 50 frames into his next scheduled start against the Yankees in New York.
