When you do something that hasn’t been accomplished since Bob Gibson, you know you are doing something right. That is exactly what MacKenzie Gore did yesterday when he went six scoreless innings striking out 13 and walking nobody. Gore looked absolutely dominant, and showed some new tricks to get the job done.
The most impressive thing about Gore’s performance was his command. He was pounding the strike zone yesterday, throwing 66 strikes in 93 pitches. There have been times where Gore’s control has failed him, but yesterday was not one of those days. Even his misses looked purposeful, setting something up.
