Going up against New York’s Mets last week in West Palm Beach, FL, MacKenzie Gore gave up two hits, three walks, and one earned run in 5 2⁄3 innings pitched.
Gore, 25, retired nine straight to start the outing (on just 32 pitches), before a single and three walks forced in the first run. A 4-3 double play got the lefty out of the fourth inning, and he got a 5-4-3 DP after a one-out hit in the fifth, then returned to the mound for two more outs in the sixth before he was done for the day, having thrown 80 pitches total.
