MacKenzie Gore surrendered four runs in four-plus innings Friday against the D-backs.
Gore pitched four scoreless innings before going double, walk, double, double in the fifth. He was pulled with the Rangers down 3-1, and the fourth run scored quickly afterwards. Gore’s stuff simply isn’t what it was a couple of months ago, and even though the Rangers had to know that, they still let hm face hitters for a third time tonight. Gore is due to take on the Red Sox next Thursday. If the Rangers fall out of contention, one imagines his last start will be skipped.
