I don't know if Gonzalez is next. He's been out with elbow tenderness, so he needs some time to get jump started. I would look at Rafael Soriano.

they went with GONZALEZ tonight and he got the win---- I don't know if this is a good sign or bad sign that he will be the closer, but it does show that COX has faith in him to go with him during a 2-2 game in the 9th inning

I don't think Soriano was available to pitch tonight, AND it wasn't a save situation Gonzales was put in.

Soriano has been pitching a lot lately, but Bobby usually goes with his closer in that situation to keep the game tied.
