Elvis Andrus' two-run single tied the game at 4, and Nomar Mazara followed with a two-run double that put Texas ahead for good. The Rangers were 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position before the duo's run-scoring hits.
This marks the first time the Athletics have lost at Globe Life Park with Gray on the mound. He was 6-0 with a 1.45 ERA in his first six career starts in Arlington. In his seventh start, the right-hander held the Rangers to two runs on five hits and two walks, striking out three on a season-high 106 pitches.
