Gio Gonzalez was effective but not efficient in five innings of work, as he was scored upon only once while striking out seven and walking only one. He allowed a single to the first batter in the sixth and was removed with a 2-1 lead at 95 pitches. The bullpen allowed the runner to score (and imploded to the tune of eight more runs), leaving Gio with a no-decision.
Fantasy Impact
In his last seven starts, Gonzalez (8-4, ERA 3.75) is 4-0 with a 1.77 ERA, and has not allowed more than two earned runs in any outing. However, he has thrown seven innings only twice, and his SO/BB ratio is 37/13 in that period.
