Gonzalez was given a night off on Wednesday in the series finale in Pittsburgh. Raimel Tapia, hitting .105 coming into the game, started in CarGo’s place in right field. The move paid off as Tapia went 4-for-4 in the contest, marking his first ever professional four-hit game. The time spent out of the lineup was well deserved and much needed as CarGo entered the last game of the current road trip hitting 0-for-20 in the five games away from Coors Field. That’s part of a 5-for-55 stretch that CarGo has endured since his last two-hit game on May 25 at Philadelphia.
