washington nationalsArizona was up 3-0 in the sixth, it rained, it rained some more, Washington is already in the playoffs, who cares?

The Diamondbacks ended up getting a 3-0 decision in a game shortened by rain and lack of interest Wednesday night.

The person who cared the most, OK, at all, was Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) gave up three runs on eight hits in three and two-thirds innings, striking out four and walking three.

Gonzalez, who will be the Nats’ #3 starter in their NLDS series with the L.A. Dodgers next week, has allowed 19 earned runs in 23 innings over his last five starts (7.43 ERA, 1.78 WHIP).
