Nationals' Gio Gonzalez: Sharp again Tuesday
Gonzalez allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.1 innings during Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves.
Analysis:
He generally puts up good spring numbers -- Gonzalez hasn't had a Grapefruit League ERA over 2.84 since 2012 -- but he's been almost unhittable this year, giving up just eight hits in 16.1 innings along with a 1.10 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB. The veteran lefty won't be that good during the regular season, but his track record suggests he should at least be able to improve on last season's 4.57 ERA.
