MacKenzie Gore gave up a solo home run on a full-count curve he left up for Aaron Judge in the first inning of his outing in New York last week, then Judge got him again in the second.
The Yankees’ slugger hit a two-run blast off the Nationals’ lefty, who finished the night with six runs on his line, though just two of them were earned.
Gore went just four innings on 80 pitches in that start (40 of them to 10 batters he faced in the home-half of the second), before he was lifted from the start.
