Gonzales went 1-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Cubs.
Gonzales returned from the injured list Monday after being sidelined since July 28, and he has started at second base while hitting fourth and third in two games. In that pair of starts, he has gone 3-for-9 with no strikeouts, and he should be locked into a key role in the Pirates' lineup for the final month of the campaign.
