Minnesota Twins pitcher Go Woo-seok experienced a tough outing in his first consecutive appearances in Major League Baseball, surrendering three runs against the Cleveland Guardians. The right-hander struggled to contain the Guardians' offense, leading to a significant increase in his earned run average.

In his appearance on July 21st (KST) at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Go pitched one inning. He gave up four hits, including a home run, and recorded two strikeouts. The damage was significant, as the Guardians capitalized on his pitches, resulting in three runs crossing the plate.

This performance marked Go Woo-seok's first time pitching on back-to-back days in the majors. The outing proved challenging, as he allowed multiple extra-base hits, including a crucial home run that contributed to his team's deficit. Following this appearance, his ERA surged to 9.00.

The Twins ultimately lost the game to the Guardians with a final score of 13-4, with Go Woo-seok's outing being a notable negative point in the team's defeat. The performance raises questions about his immediate readiness for high-leverage situations, especially after pitching the previous day.
