The way the Colorado Rockies pitched on Friday night, they didn't need a lot offsense.

Carlos Gonzalez provided just enough in a 2-1 win over the Washington Nationals.

Gonzalez drilled a solo home run in the fourth inning and then in the sixth delivered what turned out to be the game-winning sacrifice fly.

The two runs were enough to support the Rockies bullpen, which turned in 4-and-a-third scoreless and hitless innings. Scott Oberg, Bryan Shaw, Mike Dunn, Adam Ottavino and Wade Davis combined to walk one and strike out six.
