Gio Gonzalez didn't pitch like an All-Star Friday, giving up seven runs - three earned - on seven hits and three walks over just four innings in a loss to the Rangers. He struck out five but served up three homers, including a grand slam to Mike Napoli in the first inning. Thanks to four unearned runs, Gonzalez's ERA is still largely intact, but this was his worst effort of the season. Still, the young left-hander finishes the first half with a sparkling ERA (2.47) and WHIP (1.27) while striking out nearly a batter per inning.
