MacKenzie Gore works way out of three three jams in his five innings; Austin Nola drives in Eric Hosmer in sixth
Friday night was not the best version of MacKenzie Gore, but it might have been the most impressive the rookie has been this season.But Gore still shut out the potent Phillies offense over five innings Friday night, and the Padres went ahead in the sixth and held on for a 1-0 victory at Petco Park.
“Glad we got to win, but then your brother gets the loss,” Austin Nola said. “He pitched an unbelievable game.”It was the only time in modern MLB history that a player drove in a game’s only run against his brother. Nabil Crismatt , Luis Garcia and Taylor Rogers completed the shutout. Crismatt was credited with the victory. The Phillies loaded the bases on two singles and a walk before Rogers completed his major league-leading 22nd save.Gore, whose average fastball velocity sank for a third straight start, down to 93.3 mph, had to throw almost 70 pitches over his final three innings.
Gore entered Friday having pitched 54 1/3 innings this season, four more than he threw at all levels of the minor leagues in 2021. The Padres estimate he approached the equivalent of 100 innings with the work he did at their Arizona complex correcting mechanical issues, but the 23-year-old left-hander has not pitched this much competitively since 2019.
