Gonzalez made his third consecutive start Monday and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in a 6-0 loss to Seattle. It was his second straight starting in left field.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros were facing a left-hander Monday and it doesn't take much cause for A.J. Hinch to bench Norichika Aoki or Josh Reddick. Gonzalez has hit three homers and had knocked in runs in his four starts prior to Monday. As long as the bat holds up, he could be in the lineup four-to-five times a week.
