Washington Nationals news & notes: MacKenzie Gore Ks 10; 25 whiffs + shoving; Nats beat Marlins, 8-1...

MacKenzie Gore struck out 10 of the 28 Miami Marlins’ hitters he faced on Friday night in the nation’s capital, and held the Fish to a run on five hits in seven strong innings, over which he threw 103 pitches, 71 for strikes. Gore also set a new career high in swings and misses, with 25 whiffs overall, 12 on his fastball, five on his changeup, and four each on his curveball and slider. It’s tied for the most swings and misses in the majors this season with Pirates’ starter Jared Jones. So yeah, pretty good outing.

MacKenzie Gore, Nasty 86mph Changeup.
