Nick Gonzales shines in Pirates' shutout victory
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Sep 1st 9:25am EDT
Nick Gonzales went 3-for-5 in the Pirates' 3-0 win over the Guardians, contributing a double and scoring twice.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance today was a bright spot in what has been a moderately successful season, raising his batting average to .266. While Gonzales's power numbers aren't eye-popping, his ability to hit for average and score runs can provide steady, if unspectacular, fantasy value. His low walk rate and relatively high strikeout rate limit his upside in on-base percentage leagues, but his consistent contact and scoring ability keep him relevant in standard formats.
