Gonzalez, 8-4 with a 3.83 ERA this season, surrendered three runs (one earned) on five hits in five-plus innings. It was the southpaw's fifth straight start in which he allowed two earned runs or fewer.
And he did it a little under the weather.
Nationals manager Matt Williams said Gonzalez wasn't feeling well pregame, and the pitcher said the training staff got him some fluids to keep him "afloat."
"I thought he pitched well and gave us what he could," Williams said.
Gonzalez dominated early, retiring 15 of the first 17 batters he faced. Then he ran into a bit of trouble.
