Gio Gonzalez walked seven batters over five innings Sunday in the Nationals' NLDS Game 1 defeat of the Cardinals. Gonzalez operated well in damage control, allowing just one hit and two earned runs. He was lifted after throwing 110 pitches and the Washington bullpen held the Redbirds scoreless the rest of the way. The Nationals are up 1-0 in the five-game division series.
