Gore's control has begun to regress, as he's issued nine walks in 15.1 innings over his last three starts, but that's come with 25 strikeouts and a palatable 4.11 ERA. He leads the majors with 84 Ks, 10 ahead of Zack Wheeler, and he'll look to tighten things up in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against Atlanta.

Good to go for Sunday's start Gore (ankle) is listed as the Nationals' probable pitcher for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Gore tweaked his ankle during his last start against the Reds, but he'll be ready to go Sunday on six days of rest. The left-hander has been stellar this season, collecting a 3.33 ERA and 68:13 K:BB over 46 innings covering eight starts.

Recovering from sore ankle Nationals manager Dave Martinez said that Gore remains sore Monday after tweaking his ankle during Sunday's start in Cincinnati but is feeling a lot better, Andrew Golden of The Wa...
Impact Gore slipped and fell on a wet mound during the fifth inning versus the Reds and hurt his ankle in the process. He finished that frame and likely would have been removed even if he was totally healthy, given that he needed 100 pitches to cover five frames. While Gore is a little banged up, it does not appear at this point he's in any danger of missing his next scheduled start Sunday against the Cardinals. It helps that he will have six days of rest between outings.

Navigates around walks Gore allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out nine in five innings Sunday against the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Gore worked around a season-high four walks to hold the Reds to one run, which came on a second-inning solo home run by Tyler Stephenson. Sunday was just the second time this season he's failed to reach six innings, but he posted his third-best strikeout total of the year. His 68 strikeouts are 11 more than any other pitcher in the majors and he's up to 118 whiffs for the year. Gore will aim to pick up his first win in four starts when he faces the Cardinals at home over the weekend.

Impact Gore faced the minimum number of batters in three of the first four innings. He gave up both of his runs in the fifth frame, and while he bounced back to retire the side in the sixth, Gore wasn't able to get enough run support from the Nationals' offense to avoid the loss. Gore generated 14 whiffs in 99 pitches (66 strikes), and his 53 strikeouts leads the majors. He'll look to get back in the win column next week on the road against the Phillies.
