Marco Gonzales gave up no runs on only two hits over four complete innings in the Mariners win over Oakland Saturday night. He struck out five and walked none.
Gonzales pitched beautifully in long relief, keeping the Athletics at-bay, and enabling Seattle to overcome a four-run deficit to a 7-6 comeback win. The 25-year-old southpaw threw a total of 54 pitches, 37 which were for strikes. Gonzales was just removed from the Mariners' rotation because of the difficulties he had in his five starts with the team, where he logged a 7.40 ERA and 1.98 WHIP. But after yesterday's performance, manager Scott Servais is considering Gonzales taking Yovani Gallardo's spot in the rotation according to Bob Dutton of The News Tribune. The Mariners' brass most likely are holding their collective breaths, and longing for the time when either James Paxton or Felix Hernandez will be ready to be activated from the disabled list.
