Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez has homered in four straight games and six of the last eight. Before this stretch, he had six homers in 130 career games. His latest landed above the Nationals' out-of-town scoreboard in right field to lead off the eighth inning. "Yeah, I knew that ball was going to go out," Gonzalez said. "It was a tough pitch. I saw the replay and it was down and away. I was pretty impressed with myself because the pitcher probably did not even know how I hit that ball. It just happened."
