Mackenzie Gore struck out 10 of the 22 batters he faced on Wednesday night in Truist Park, without walking one batter, making him just the 11th player in Washington Nationals’ history to manage the feat.
Gore joins Josiah Gray, Patrick Corbin, Tanner Roark, Gio González, and John Lannan, who all did it once, with Joe Ross, Jordan Zimmermann, and John Patterson doing it twice, and Stephen Strasburg (10) and Max Scherzer (20) atop the list.

Gore, 25, gave up six hits and two runs (one earned), in 5 1⁄3 IP against the Braves in the 3rd of 4 in Atlanta this week, leading the club to a 7-2 win which guaranteed at least a split with their NL East rivals.
