Gore Struggles, Rangers Show Signs of Life

The Rangers’ five-game winning streak came to an end as MacKenzie Gore’s strong run hit a wall—four runs in under five innings, including three walks in the first inning that handed the Cardinals an early lead. Gore admitted control issues have been his recent Achilles’ heel, and he felt he compounded problems by overcompensating. Still, he kept the damage minimal by preventing any runs in his innings. Bright spots included Josh Jung’s RBI, Joc Pederson’s two-run triple, and rookie Robby Ahlstrom’s flawless debut. The offense remains alive, fueled by aggressive base running—four stolen bases in the series, their most all season—and with Wyatt Langford potentially returning soon, the team’s blend of small-ball and power could be just getting started.
