    Gio Gonzalez knew he wasn't going back to the mound after throwing 102 pitches in 101-degree heat.

    The game was tied in the middle of the sixth inning, so if Gonzalez was to get his 12th win of the season, the Washington Nationals needed to score against the Colorado Rockies before making three outs.

    And that's precisely what happened.

    Gonzalez pitched six innings of three-hit ball, and the Nationals used a three-run sixth to post a 4-1 victory Saturday.
