MIAMI -- Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez showed Sunday afternoon that it's not wise to come home all the time. The Miami-area native didn't pitch well in a 6-2 loss to the Marlins. He pitched five-plus innings, allowing six runs on 10 hits and striking out eight batters.
Gonzalez was cruising until the fourth inning. After Ichiro Suzuki singled with two outs, Giancarlo Stanton was caught in a rundown between third and home. First baseman Ryan Zimmerman threw the ball to catcher Wilson Ramos, who held on to the ball and allowed Stanton to go back to third safely and load the bases.
