Josiah Gray wrapped up his post-trade deadline run with the Washington Nationals with a solid six-inning outing against the Boston Red Sox which saw the 23-year-old righty throw 90 pitches to the 22 batters he faced, giving up three hits, two walks, and one earned run, while striking out seven in a 5-3 loss in which he received no decision.
“That was one of my better starts,” Gray told reporters after his 12th appearance with the Nationals following the trade deadline deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers which brought Gray, 23-year-old catcher Keibert Ruiz, 25-year-old outfielder Donovan Casey, and 23-year-old right-hander Gerardo Carillo to Washington’s organization.
