Three hits in Tuesday's win Gonzales went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Giants.

Impact Getting a rare start at DH and hitting cleanup, Gonzales was one of five Pirates with multiple hits on the night. The 27-year-old infielder has been swinging a hot bat all season, and over his last 20 games he's slashing .333/.435/.403 with five doubles, two steals, six runs and eight RBI. Gonzales still doesn't offer much power, however -- his homer drought stands at 33 games, and he has just six long balls in 536 plate appearances on the year.

Making return to starting nine Monday Gonzales (face) will start at second base in Monday's game against the Tigers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact The Pirates kept Gonzales out of the lineup for the final two games of their weekend series with the Red Sox after he exited Friday's 8-4 due to a facial contusion, which he sustained when he was hit in the helmet by a pitch.
