Despite the frustrating loss, MacKenzie Gore delivered yet another quality start where he showed off his dominant stuff. We have come to expect Gore to have lines like he did tonight, 6 innings, 2 runs, no walks and 6 strikeouts. This has become close to an average MacKenzie Gore stat line, which is very impressive.
He is blossoming into an ace before our very eyes because of his new found consistency. Gore still has the occasional stinker like he did against the O’s, but they are far less frequent. We have always seen high highs from Gore, now we are seeing less of the lows and his average starts are much better than they used to be.
