MacKenzie Gore Lasts Seven Frames, Fans Career-High 11
11 months agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore fired seven innings against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. He punched out a career-high 11 batters and allowed a single run for a no-decision as the Nats fell 3-2. The 24-year-old has been a model of consistency in 2023, preserving his ERA from enlarging beyond 3.69 at any point across his 11 starts. Gore's 1.41 WHIP is a figure fantasy managers should watch going forward, but the former third-overall pick has an overpowering 11.5 K/9 to help cover it up. He's coming along nicely after a dreadful end to his time with the San Diego Padres last summer. Gore's 3.57 ERA and overall sturdiness will be challenged in a stiff draw against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.
