Rangers fans?

What a debut day for their fresh faces in the series finale against the Phillies at Citizens

Bank Park.

Brandon Nemo and Andrew McCutchen each smashed their first home runs as Texas Rangers,

while starting pitcher Mackenzie Gore dominated early in his.

Club debut.

Gore kept the Phillies hit list through five full innings, but things heated up in the

sixth with a swinging bun single.

He loaded the bases, struck out Bryce Harper, then hit Alec Bome to score one run before

exiting after five and one-third innings.

He gave up two runs on two hits, three walks, and seven strikeouts total.

The Rangers snag Gore from the nationals back on January 22nd, sending over five of their

top 30 prospects in the deal.

That move bolsters a rotation already rocking the best ERA in the majors at 3.41.

Gore had a solid 2025 with Washington, posting a 4.17 ERA over 159 and two-thirds innings

in 30.

Starts.

He earned his first All-Star nod after a sharp 3.02 first half, plus career highs and

strikeouts at 185 and 3.0.

War.

Texas holds the momentum heading into their home opener on April 3rd perfect timing for

these new arms to keep shining.
