Milwaukee Brewers starter Gio Gonzalez was cruising through his start on Friday evening. He had made thrown into the seventh inning, and had only surrendered one run against the Chicago Cubs. Gonzalez struck out Javy Baez for his ninth strikeout of the evening. Gonzalez started grimacing as soon as the 89 MPH fastball hit Yasmani Grandal‘s glove. Manager Craig Counsell and the Brewers training staff came out to the mound immediately, and removed Gonzalez from the game.
Gonzalez final line was only one run allowed in 6 1/3 innings with nine K’s and only one walk allowed.
