Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Blasts first homer
Gonzales went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Twins.
Gonzales has hit for a relatively empty .303 batting average across 216 plate appearances this season, though he managed to end his home-run drought with a two-run homer in the third inning. He still has only a .061 ISO on the campaign, though he has hit either fourth or fifth in Pittsburgh's order in seven of his last eight starts. Gonzales' playing time should also be solidified in the short term with Konnor Griffin (elbow) sidelined.

Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Dealing with knee discomfort
Gonzales was removed from Thursday's contest against the Cubs due to left knee discomfort.
Gonzales had a limp running out of the box in the second inning, and it is now understood to have been due to residual pain in his left knee from a ball he fouled off his leg in Wednesday's loss to Chicago. He is considered day-to-day for the time being, with Tyler Callihan entering the contest for his Pirates debut in place of Gonzales.

Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Raps out four hits in win
Gonzales went 4-for-6 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 13-3 win over the Giants.
Gonzales' bat had been cooling off earlier in the week, as he entered Saturday on an 0-for-11 skid. He bounced back with his first four-hit game of the season, which was his third multi-hit effort of May. The infielder has made consistent contact eary this year, batting .323 with a .758 OPS, 17 RBI, 16 runs scored, three stolen bases and six doubles across 36 contests. He has yet to hit a home run, though he's never been a major power threat with no more than seven long balls in a big-league season. Gonzales has earned a near full-time role this season, playing at third base against right-handed pitchers and at second against southpaws.

Gonzales went 3-for-4 with a run scored and a walk Friday against the Reds.
