Gio Gonzalez was in good form Saturday, carrying a no-hitter through the fifth inning, striking out ten while walking four and allowing two hits (106 pitches, Game Score 74). It's worth noting that this success came with Wilson Ramos catching.
Fantasy Impact
Gonzalez (10-7, ERA 3.96) has now followed his three poor starts with two good ones. He'll usually get you strikeouts, but isn't very efficient so he has pitched eight full innings only twice in 26 starts. Fortunately, the Nationals bullpen and offense are good enough to get him wins.
