On the season, he's now slashing .221/.294/.487 with 11 homers, 22 RBI and eight stolen bases.
The 32-year-old southpaw punched out four batters on the evening and didn't issue a base on balls. The lone tally against him came on a two-out RBI single by Luis Robert Jr. in the third inning. Aside from that, Gonzales was terrific. He got seven swings and misses on 60 pitches on the night, posting a strong CSW of 33 percent. Through his first four starts on the season, Gonzales is now 1-0 with a minuscule 2.45 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a 15/5 K/BB ratio across 22 innings.
