Gonzalez Pitches Scoreless Inning in Cincinnati
Braves reliever Mike Gonzalez pitched a scoreless inning in relief Thursday afternoon in Cincinnati after giving up four runs — all unearned — in his previous outing Tuesday against the Reds. Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano are splitting the closer role in Atlanta at the moment. Neither player has gotten a save since Soriano notched one on June 9 against Pittsburgh. This situation severely limits each player’s Fantasy value since we won’t be able to predict when the save opportunities will come for each. If only one were closer, they’d be a nice No. 2 Fantasy option. Together, each is only worth using as a stopgap. (CBS Sports)
