MacKenzie Gore News: Pummeled by Athletics

Gore (4-12) took the loss Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and a walk over three innings. He did not record a strikeout.

Gore had an abysmal performance, and it's continued a rough stretch that started in late June. He allowed two homers and five runs in the opening frame and was unable to straighten himself out, eventually getting pulled in the fourth after the first two batters reached base. His velocity has notably been down over his last four starts, and he's allowed 23 runs over that span while posting a 10:11 K:BB. Something doesn't seem right with Gore, but he's lined up for another start this weekend against the Giants.
