Washington's Gonzalez takes aim at All-Star appearance

WASHINGTON -- Two left-handers with a lot to prove will meet on Wednesday in the second game of the series between the Washington Nationals and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona's Robbie Ray will try to show the Nationals they should not have traded him to the Detroit Tigers in a deal that netted Washington veteran right-hander Doug Fister.

"We have our hands full," said Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, well aware the Nationals scored at least 10 runs six times in April.

Meanwhile, Gio Gonzalez, the Washington lefty, is seeing stars, or at least he hopes to.
