Overview

• Gonzalez exited after two at-bats with left knee soreness and was replaced at first base by Nathan Lowe in the bottom of the second.
• He said his knee “kinda locked up” taking the field, and Alex Cora listed him as day-to-day following Boston’s 6-0 win in Sacramento.
• Gonzalez expects to sit Wednesday and return Friday for the series opener against the Yankees at Fenway Park.
• Before leaving, he led off with a 426-foot homer and added an RBI double, extending his MLB-best hitting streak to 12 games.
• Rookie left-hander Connelly Early debuted with 11 strikeouts over five scoreless innings to tie the franchise record for strikeouts in a debut as Boston continues to navigate other injuries, including Roman Anthony and Dustin May.
