Dicky Gonzalez had just gotten a subpar year back on track when he went down on Aug. 24 with a right calf strain that some thought could keep him out for the rest of the regular season.
Dicky Gonzalez has thrown 14 scoreless innings since returning from a calf injury earlier this month.
Not only did the Yomiuri Giants pitcher prove those fears to be unfounded, the right-hander looks like he hasn't missed a beat.
Gonzalez (3-3, 3.48 ERA) has resembled his old self since returning to the Giants rotation this month, which has to put a smile on manager Tatsunori Hara's face.
Gonzalez made an emphatic return on Oct. 9, tossing seven one-hit innings against the Chunichi Dragons at Nagoya Dome.
He delivered an encore on Saturday, denying the Dragons a chance to wrap up the league title with seven more innings of one-hit ball at Tokyo Dome.
In all, Gonzalez threw 14 innings against the probable Central League champions over the past two weeks and allowed no runs, two hits and just four baserunners. - http://search.japantimes.co.jp
