Gonzalez took a no-decision despite throwing six shutout innings Tuesday against Atlanta. He struck out four, walked one, and allowed just three hits.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez was extremely sharp, as he threw 18 first-pitch strikes to 23 hitters and tossed 61 strikes in 95 pitches. This was his first start due to a shuffling of the Nationals rotation in the season's first week, but there didn't appear to be any rust for Gonzalez. He struggled with walks last season, as he issued 3.5 walks per nine innings, so it's a great sign to see Gonzalez pounding the zone out of the gate in 2016.
