In his final inning of work in 2024, MacKenzie Gore struck out the side. Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, and Bryce Harper went down swinging in a 19-pitch frame against the Phillies which left Gore at 91 pitches total total, with nine Ks from 21 batters faced in six scoreless at home in Nationals Park.
“Striking out the side is always fun, especially when they’re really good hitters like they are,” the 25-year-old left-hander said after a 9-3 win over Philadelphia (in which Gore received no decision).
“Good way to end it.”
“No doubt about it,” manager Davey Martinez said of the way Gore wrapped up his season.
