EDGE Analysis

After shutting them down in his last start, the Mets unleashed a flurry of offense against Gonzalez that included three home runs. One of the most surprising elements of the Nationals' strong start this season has been that Gonzalez has been perhaps the club's most consistent pitcher. He began this start with a 1.86 ERA, the best on the team, but that number increased by a full run to 2.87 after this disastrous outing. It's the first time Gonzalez has allowed seven earned runs in a start since May 11, 2014, against the A's.
