Gray completed two innings and allowed seven earned runs on five hits and four walks.
Shortstop Marcus Semien went 3 for 3 with four RBIs while first baseman Yonder Alonso and third baseman Trevor Plouffe each had two hits.
Trailing 10-8, the A's scored 11 runs in the sixth to blow the game open.
Arizona starter Shelby Miller gave up six earned runs on five hits and two walks over 2 2/3 innings.
