GORE-Y?:
MacKenzie Gore put together a solid run of 14 starts to begin the season in which he posted a 3.24 ERA, a 2.95 FIP, and .262/.327/.383 line against in 75 IP.
Over the next nine outings, however, the 25-year-old southpaw struggled, putting up a 7.24 ERA, 4.79 FIP, and an ugly-looking .314/.398/.491 line against in 41 innings.
Start No. 10 in his tough stretch, was last week in the nation’s capital, where Gore allowed five hits, a career-high six walks, and five runs (all unearned).
“This has been tough,” he acknowledged in his post game comments, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman.
