8/6 7:28 AM Mackenzie Gore (P-WSH) [The Score] - Nationals' Gore after blowout loss to A's: 'This is embarrassing'. Washington Nationals ace MacKenzie Gore didn't hold back his feelings after one of the worst starts of his career during Tuesday's 16-7 loss to the Athletics.The Nationals lost their sixth straight game, with four of those coming at home, after Gore allowed eight earned runs on 12 hits in three innings. He didn't strike out a hitter for the first time in his career."Not good," Gore said, according to MLB.com's Jessica Camerato. "It was bad. What, I gave up eight runs? It's kind of the only way to put it - that it was bad."Washington allowed 70 runs during its six-game losing streak and have been outscored by 33 runs in the last four games of its homestand against the Milwaukee Brewers and A's. The club enters Wednesday 22 games under .500 with a minus-143 run differential."This is embarrassing," Gore said. "We shouldn't just try to act like nothing happened here. What's happened in this homestand is not acceptable. No matter what happened last week, we're all better than this. This is embarrassing. We’ve got to be able to not let it affect everybody. We’ve got to be able to come together as a group and get better. But yeah, what happened this homestand, it’s hard to watch.”

8/6 7:20 AM Nestor Cortes (P-SD) Padres send Nestor Cortes out to face Diamondbacks. When left-hander Nestor Cortes joined San Diego at the trade deadline last week, he marveled at the bullpen that general manager A.J. Preller had assembled. "I was joking with my friends last night, all you've got to do is get to the fifth inning -- possibly the fourth," Cortes said. The Padres, of course, will look for more from Cortes (1-1, 9.00 ERA) when he makes his third start of the season and the first for them in the rubber game of a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix on Wednesday night.
