Sonny Gray carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning but wound up the 2-1 hardluck loser in Cincinnati Friday night. Gray struck out four while walking only one Reds batter and Stephen Vogt hit a solo home run but neither could save the A’s (25-35) from a sixth-straight loss.

The Reds (23-38) rallied in the seventh inning to come from behind and sour Gray’s second start since coming off the disabled list. Gray sandwiched a pair of outs around a Brandon Phillips single, but Adam Duvall’s two-out double tied the game.

Eugenio Suarez singled to advance Duvall, then Gray’s wild pitch brought him home. Gray (3-6, 5.34 ERA) would finish the seventh inning and retire two batters in the eighth. Sean Doolittle retired the final Cincinnati hitter.

While Gray was tagged with the loss, Reds started Anthony DeSclafani managed to swing a no-decision. He yielded a solo home to Vogt, the catcher’s fifth of the season, with two outs in the third. He exited after six, but reliever Blake Wood (5-1, 3.73) vulutred the win in relief. Tony Cingrani picked up his sixth save of the year.

Oakland turns to Daniel Mengden in his major league debit Saturday. Cincinnati counters with former Athletic Dan Straily on the hill.
