Gore Shines in Rangers' Win Over Phillies

0:00Texas Rangers just handled the Phillies 8-3 on Sunday thanks to a stellar debut from New Arm McKenzie Gore. He struck out 7-5 and 2-3's innings, keeping Philly hitless until a 6th inning infield single. That bid for Texas's first no-hitter since 1994 got shut down, but Gore escaped a big jam by fanning Bryce Harper with the bases. Loaded, Gore came over in an off-season trade from Washington and looked sharp early, walking off after plunking a batter with the score at 6-1. The bullpen locked it down from there, giving the Rangers 2 wins out of 3 against the NLE's champs. Fans booed ex-met Brandon Nemo all weekend, but he answered with a two-run homer in the second off-filly starter, Jesus Lazardo. Andrew McCutchen, also new to Texas, crushed a 3-run shot in the 4th for a 5-nothing lead. Kyle Gashioca added an RBI single in the 6th when a flyball dropped in the sun. Gore's a 27-year-old lefty with a solid track record, including an all-star nod last

1:03year and a career-high 13 strikeouts against. These same Philly's in his opener back then. His run support made the difference in this one. Rangers head to Baltimore next, with Jack Leader starting Monday, while Philly hosts Washington and sends out Taiwan Walker. Keep an eye on these matchups as the schedule heats up.
