Gio Gonzalez Gets First Major League Hit
Sep 12, 2014 6:59 AM
Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez collected his first Major League hit in a 3-2 victory over the Reds on Thursday afternoon.
Gonzalez swung at a Mat Latos pitch and singled to left in the fifth inning. He could be seen smiling after reaching first base, while getting a loud ovation from the sellout crowd.
"Big smile, big smile," Gonzalez said. "If you are not smiling, you have no blood. Latos is a great pitcher. I was trying to make contact. I was fortunate enough to put wood on it, and I got something going."
