Gio Gonzalez tied a career high (set in 2011) and matched a Nationals’ franchise record (set by Tony Armas, Jr. and matched by Matt Chico) with seven walks in Washington’s 2-1 win in the nation’s capital on Tuesday night.
In spite of the fact that he issued the seven free passes to the Arizona Diamondbacks, none of the D-Backs he walked scored, and the only run the left-hander allowed in five innings of work came on a solo home run in the first.
