Nick Gonzales rips four hits Saturday
by David Leisering | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, May 10th 8:40am EDT
Nick Gonzales went 4-for-6 with a double and a run scored on Saturday as the Pirates routed the Giants, 13-3.
Fantasy Impact:
Gonzales entered Saturday on an 0-for-11 skid in his previous four games before recording his first four-hit effort of the season. It was his third multi-hit game in seven May contests and his 14th of the year. Gonzales ranks seventh in the National League with his .323 average, but his lack of power hurts his fantasy value. He has not hit a home run this season and his double in the ninth on Saturday was his first extra-base hit since April 27. But, the average is nice and he has carved out a near-everyday role with Pirates, typically starting at third against righties and moving over to second against lefties.
