MacKenzie Gore Lit Up in Loss
MacKenzie Gore (4-9) posted his worst start of the season and took his ninth loss in an 8-1 blowout versus the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Gore lasted just 2 1/3 innings against his former team and coughed up eight earned runs on eight hits, including two homers, with three walks and two strikeouts. It was Gore's first time out since he pitched a perfect frame in the All-Star Game on Tuesday. Gore earned his way on the NL team with a 3.02 ERA in the first half of the season, but that number has quickly risen to a still-solid 3.59 as a result of Sunday's ugly showing. Also still sporting an above-average 1.27 WHIP and a terrific 140:38 K:BB, Gore will try to bounce back on the road against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
