Padres LHP MacKenzie Gore pulled with sore elbow

DETROIT (AP) — San Diego Padres left-hander MacKenzie Gore exited a game against the Detroit Tigers with a sore elbow. Gore, a 23-year-old recently shifted to the bullpen, relieved starter Sean Manaea during the fourth inning of a 12-4 defeat. He threw 35 pitches and got four outs before walking off the field with a trainer. San Diego manager Bob Melvin said Gore will remain with the team for the last two days of the Tigers series, then fly home to be examined by Padres doctors. Gore averaged 92.7 mph on his fastball against the Tigers, down more than 2 mph from his season average.
