Gray, the Nationals’ lone all-star in 2023, struggled early, giving up four runs in the first inning of a 7-4 loss.
Josiah Gray fought through his second rocky start to the season, pitching only into the fifth inning of a 7-4 loss to Pittsburgh. Josiah Gray kept looking for the one pitch that would extricate himself from the jam he found himself in during the first inning. A season ago, during an all-star campaign, that pitch was there when he needed it more often than not.
But the start was tough. He opened the game by conceding a single through a hole in the infield to Oneil Cruz, followed by a bloop double to Bryan Reynolds. He was locating his fastball and change-up as Manager Dave Martinez requested, but balls kept finding holes. What Martinez didn’t want to see was the repetitive misses far and away, which led to two walks in the inning, both of which led to runs after Reynolds and Cruz scored.
Washington threatened again with two outs in the eighth. Trey Lipscomb poked an RBI single down the first base line and pinch hitter Luis García Jr. followed with an RBI single past Pirates second baseman Jared Triolo to cut the deficit to three.
