Tony Gonsolin shows marked improvement as Dodgers earn their seventh consecutive win
LOS ANGELES — Tony Gonsolin’s first pitch Saturday night was belted 426 feet to center field for a home run, an inauspicious start for a Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander whose hold on a rotation spot, based on the pregame comments of his own manager, was beginning to seem a little tenuous.
Whether Gonsolin heard the voice of Dave Roberts or not, he pitched the rest of the night like a man fighting for a job, allowing no runs, only two more hits, striking out six and walking none through six innings of an eventual 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies before 52,515 in Chavez Ravine.
