Miguel Gonzalez - S - Orioles

Miguel Gonzalez allowed four runs over five-plus innings Sunday.

Gonzalez didn't have his best stuff, but managed to escape with a no-decision. He gave up seven hits, two walks, and had to be taken out of the game in the sixth inning after working up a high pitch count. Gonzalez is now sporting a 4.60 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. His next start will come Friday vs. the Angels.

Miguel Gonzalez - S - Orioles

Miguel Gonzalez allowed three runs in six innings, and the Orioles beat the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Gonzalez wasn't particularly sharp, but made just one costly mistake resulting in a three-run home run by Edwin Encarnacion. The win moved Gonzalez to 2-1 on the year, but he's sporting a 1.46 WHIP that doesn't bode well for the right-hander. His next start will come Sunday against the A's in Oakland.

Miguel Gonzalez - S - Orioles

Miguel Gonzalez was touched up for five runs (four earned) in 5 2/3 innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Rays.

Gonzalez gave up eight hits, including three home runs. Consider that he allowed three home runs combined over his previous 10 regular season starts dating back to last August. Gonzalez came out of nowhere last season to be a trusted contributor down the stretch and into the postseason, but many wondered whether he was doing it with mirrors. The doubters are winning out right now.

Miguel Gonzalez - S - Orioles

Miguel Gonzalez allowed three runs (two earned) in six-plus innings Friday in a no-decision against the Yankees.

Gonzalez was uncharacteristically wild, tying a career-high with five walks. He also hit a batter. Buck Showalter pulled Gonzalez after he issued a leadoff walk in the seventh and the Yankees eventually took the lead after Adam Jones dropped a fly ball in center field, which resulted in three runs crossing the plate. He'll look to bounce back next week against the Rays.

Miguel Gonzalez - S - Orioles

Miguel Gonzalez will be pushed back to start Friday against the Yankees.

The Orioles don't have a game Tuesday and will go with Jake Arrieta and Chris Tillman on normal rest. Gonzalez is still listed as the No. 3 starter, so this isn't a demotion.
