The 34-year-old right-hander now sports a 3.96 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP and 179:36 K:BB across 25 starts (147.2 innings). Gray's currently lined up to face the Brewers on the road in his next outing.

It was a third straight loss for Gray, who has given up 13 runs across 16 innings with a 22:7 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's now at a 4.07 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 175:36 K:BB through 141.2 innings over 24 starts. Gray will look to right the ship in his next start, which is projected to be at home versus the Padres.

Gray (11-8) allowed two runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Gray danced around a few threats through four shutout frames before allowing a pair of runs in the fifth inning. He's been tagged for eight runs in 10 innings over his last two starts, bumping his season ERA from 3.72 to 3.91. Sunday also marked the first time he lost a second straight start since June 6. Gray produced a 2.81 ERA through 14 starts but has registered an unsightly 5.68 ERA in nine starts since then. His next outing is projected to be in Minnesota.

Gray (11-7) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on five hits and two walks over five innings against the Reds. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Gray allowed six earned runs for the second time this season with five of those runs coming by way of two home runs off the bat of Spencer Steer. The other run allowed also came via the long ball as Elly De La Cruz followed Steer's two-run blast in the third with a solo dinger of his own. It was the third time this season Gray has allowed at least three homers in the same game. The outing lifted his ERA to 3.93 with a 1.08 WHIP over 130.2 innings while the nine strikeouts lifted his season total to 162, good for 10th best in all of baseball. His next start is slated to take place over the weekend when the Dodgers make the trip to St. Louis.

Gray (11-6) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings in a 4-3 victory over the Rays. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander needed 106 pitches (70 strikes) to deliver his 10th quality start of the season. Gray has lasted at least seven innings in seven of his last 10 trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's posted a 4.08 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 71:10 K:BB through 64 innings. He lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Cincinnati.

Gray did not factor into the decision in Thursday's loss to the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Gray was efficient during his time on the mound, throwing 19 of his 26 first pitches for strikes while inducing 15 swings and misses. The right-hander allowed one run to come across in the second after allowing three of the first four batters to reach in the frame, and later coughed up a solo homer to Seiya Suzuki in the sixth. It actually marked the first time in Gray's last six starts that he didn't allow at least three runs, as he had surrendered five runs in each of his previous two outings. Gray has also now posted six or more strikeouts in seven consecutive starts.

Gray allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out seven during the extra-inning loss against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Gray gave up at least one run in three separate innings and never really settled in against the Nationals. He's given up at least three runs in five straight outings, posting a brutal 6.67 ERA during that span. On the bright side, he also turned in a strong 35:5 K:BB during those five starts. This rough patch has driven Gray's season ERA up from 2.81 to 3.79 across 111.2 frames. His next outing is lined up to be at home against Texas.

Gray (10-6) picked up the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader split with Atlanta, giving up five runs on eight hits -- including four home runs -- over seven innings. He struck out 10 without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals' offense gave Gray plenty of support in a 9-5 victory, so his issues keeping the ball in the park didn't come back to bite him. The veteran right-hander had served up only four homers over his last 11 outings combined, so the sudden gopheritis likely isn't going to be a long-term concern. Gray will carry a 3.54 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and stellar 131:24 K:BB through 106.2 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Nationals.

Gray and the Cardinals won't face Atlanta on Friday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

EDGE Analysis

Friday's contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday, and Gray will get the nod to start the nightcap, per John Denton of MLB.com. The 34-year-old righty owns a 3.34 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 99.2 innings on the season, though he has given up 11 earned runs over 16.1 innings across his last three starts.

Gray (9-6) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on nine hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Despite collecting his eighth quality start of the season, Gray yielded a season-high nine hits -- eight singles and one double. He hasn't been his best of late, making three straight outings allowing seven or more hits, pitching to a 6.06 ERA in 16.1 innings over that span. The 34-year-old veteran wraps up his first half with a 3.34 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 121:24 K:BB across 99.2 innings. Gray looks to bounce back in the Cardinals' first series of the second half on the road against Atlanta.
