MacKenzie Gore gave up six hits, three walks, and seven earned runs in 2 2⁄3 innings pitched on Saturday afternoon in Citizens Bank Park, struggling in both the second and third innings of a 19-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Gore struck out 2 of 3 batters faced in the first, but it was a mental error which stuck in the southpaw’s craw after the abbreviated outing in the blowout, and it was a blister which eventually led his manager to pull him after a total of 64 pitches, 37 strikes in a rough outing.
