When last we saw Gio Gonzalez on the mound, he was carrying a no-hitter into the bottom of the ninth at Marlins Park before Dee Gordon broke it up on an emotional night in Miami. Since then, Gonzalez has left the Nationals for a few days for the birth of his second son, Gabriel, and now he returns to the mound for his first appearance in nine days.

And the opponent ... will be the Marlins again. As we saw last night with Vance Worley and A.J. Cole, the advantage doesn't necessarily change from hitter to pitcher (or vice versa) when facing a guy two times in a row. So we'll see if Gonzalez has another gem in him.

The Nationals are facing left-hander Adam Conley for the first time this season. They've faced him four times in the past, scoring 16 runs on 23 hits in 18 innings.
