MacKenzie Gore • Texas Rangers
MacKenzie Gore struck out nine over five innings in the Rangers’ 3-0 shutout of the Mariners on Wednesday.
Gore has 25 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings to start the year. When the Mariners were able to make contact against him today, they hit the ball pretty hard, with four of their six balls in play exceeding 104 mph off the bat. Still, it resulted in just one hit, a line drive single from Mitch Garver. That and a Cole Young single in the ninth were the Mariners’ only hits of the day. Gore is 2-0 with a 2.76 ERA. He’s due to pitch in Sacramento against the A’s next time out.
