Gore Struggles with Control, Nationals Fall to Angels
by Jesse Garcia | Nationals Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:53pm EDT
MacKenzie Gore endured a tough outing, surrendering six walks while allowing five hits and striking out two over four innings in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not giving up any earned runs, Gore's inability to control the strike zone significantly hampered his performance, leading to an early exit after just 86 pitches. This game highlights a continuing issue for Gore, who has struggled with a high WHIP of 1.57 and an elevated BABIP of .364 throughout the season. His high strikeout rate of 9.8 K/9 remains a silver lining, but his overall effectiveness is marred by inconsistency and control issues. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as these control problems can lead to risky starts, especially against high-caliber offenses.
