In 35 innings this year, he is 0-5 with a 6.43 ERA. Of the 36 hits he’s given up, eight have been home runs. Gonzalez isn’t exactly sharp with his command either. On the year, he’s allowed 21 walks while striking out 20. This will be his first career appearance against the Pirates.
Trevor Williams will take the bump for the Pirates tonight. In 112.2 innings this season, Williams is 6-6 with a 5.
